Its main theme is how political science as a science of democracy is influenced and how it responds to the challenges of the new millennium. The chapters, built upon a common theoretical framework of institutionalisation, are evidence-based and comparative. Overall, the book diagnoses diversity among the country cases due to their take-off points and varied political and economic trajectories. 606 $aNew institutionalism (Social sciences) 606 $aPolitical science$zEuropean Union countries 606 $aComparative politics$2bicssc 606 $aPolitical science & theory$2bicssc 606 $aPolitics & government$2bicssc 606 $aHigher & further education, tertiary education$2bicssc 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xPolitics and government 610 $aOpen Access 610 $ainstitutionalisation 610 $apolitical science 610 $aEast Central Europe 610 $acatching up 610 $aintegration 610 $arelevance 610 $adevelopment of Political Science in Europe 610 $ahomogenization 610 $aHigher Education 615 0$aNew institutionalism (Social sciences) 615 0$aPolitical science 615 7$aComparative politics 615 7$aPolitical science & theory 615 7$aPolitics & government 615 7$aHigher & further education, tertiary education 676 $a320.94 676 $a320.94 701 $aIlonszki$b Gabriella$01075713 701 $aRoux$b Christophe$01075714 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910513587203321 996 $aOpportunities and Challenges for New and Peripheral Political Science Communities$92585550 997 $aUNINA
