Clarendon Press The Rise of the Fiscal State in Europe C. 12001815
Book SynopsisIn this volume an international team of scholars builds up a comprehensive analysis of the fiscal history of Europe over six centuries.

It deserves, indeed, the approbation of the European Union, and the Presses universitaires de France might proudly and promptly publish it in French * American Historical Review (Oct 2000) *By covering such an extended range of 'states' this volume presents a unique guide to national fiscal institutions and a basis for comparing their different character and evolution. * G. L. Harris, EHR *The overall organisation and breadth of this collection on Europes fiscal history are as impressive as the authors credentials ... this is a fine book. * A.Barrett, Choice, July/Aug 00, Vol.37, No.11/12. *Table of ContentsIntroduction ; 1.

Verlag Peter Lang The Development of Pluralism in Modern Britain
Book SynopsisEurope is increasingly multi-ethnic and multi-faith, as well as multi-cultural. Western democracies now comprise a plurality of fundamental opinions and inherited cultures; it is not clear how (or if!) they can be related to each other without involving either oppression or anarchy. This debate requires historical understanding and a contemporary grasp of the points at issue amongst different cultures. By virtue of their proximity and frequent historical interaction, Britain and France lend themselves to comparative study. The studies in this volume collectively demonstrate that the affairs of religious minorities in these two countries were not only of concern to themselves and their national established churches. Rather, over a long-term period, they had a sustained impact on many other issues. All chapters illustrate the problematic shift from a persecutory to a pluralistic mentality.
