Books by B. Nelson

The essays in this volume examine some of the key issues facing the European Community in the 1990s, focusing on three important areas: the politics of integration; economics, education and science; and foreign policy and defence.

Nelson provides a historical overview of the theoretical and ideological evolution of the modern state, from pre-state and pre-modern state formations to the present. A major theme of the book is the need to understand the modern state holistically, as a totality of social, political, and ideological factors.
