Abstract

Why do some countries have culture wars over morality issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage, while other countries hardly experience any conflict at all? This book argues that morality issues only generate major conflicts in political systems with a significant conflict between religious and secular parties, because this is required for these issues to become part of party competition. Students and scholars of European policy and moral and ethical issues will come across much of worth within its pages, finds Jennifer Thomson.
