Summary

The new sixth edition of the leading text in contemporary European history is now thoroughly revised with up-to-date scholarship. Its coverage of southern and eastern Europe is expanded, as is its coverage of social history-especially women's history. It charts the theme of globalization starting with the 1890s and moving through to post-9/11. This new edition also examines how twenty-first-century Europe has addressed issues such as immigration and migration, economic globalization, environmental degradation, and terrorism.
