Recenzii
’Charalambous sheds a great deal of new light on policy evolution within the three communist parties he examines - the Greek KKE, Italian Rifondazione, and Cypriot AKEL. The case studies are well researched and genuinely fascinating. The author's comparative analysis of why these communist parties have pursued such different policies on European integration and supranational pan-European cooperation (including European party-building) is fascinating.

Descriere
European Integration and the Communist Dilemma assesses the response of communist parties to European integration using three contrasting and comparatively significant case studies from Greece, Cyprus and Italy. These parties, in common with other radical parties in Europe, face a continuing strategic dilemma with regard to Europe through which larger questions about communist ideology and identity can be illuminated.
