A must for any course you teach on European politics! 

Giovanni Arrighis warning of a terra ferma structure - do they come true so

This excellent documentation of persisting regional poverty in Europe also
explains to you, why under Maastricht austerity in the European South and
East, there will be 1, 5, 10 Berlusconis around here soon!

For the beautiful color graphs, you will need a color printer to catch the
entire meaning!

Kindest regards
