Western Europe 2027 is the 29th edition of this single-source reference work. It comprises well-informed commentaries and up-to-date statistical and directory information, which combine to provide an impartial and comprehensive guide. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to incorporate the latest facts and developments in the region. Western Europe 2027 is divided into three sections: General Survey – This offers an overall perspective on the region, with essays from acknowledged experts providing analysis of the region’s social, political and economic issues.

Country Surveys – Individual chapters offer a comprehensive overview of each country in the region. A section detailing the country’s physical and social geography is complemented by a map, a chronology offering swift access to important dates and events, and comprehensive essays commissioned from leading authorities on the recent history and economy of the country.
