This book offers a critical account of the response of leading European political thinkers to the postwar task of reconstruction, the advent of totalitarianism in the USSR, and the emergence of increasing social diversity and supra-national political trends in the post Cold War era. The unifying concern is with whether the ideal of the limited state has been successfully adapted to the European order of nation-states in the early postwar decades, and subsequently to the European Union and globalization.
