Why this set matters
This bundle offers a comparative and interdisciplinary view of two major Western democracies during the postwar period. Mougel and Charlot provide complementary perspectives on British political life and institutional structure, while the media volume adds cultural and communicative depth to the British side. Artaud and Kaspi’s Histoire des États-Unis balances the set with a sweeping overview of American political development, making this collection ideal for readers seeking to understand the transatlantic parallels and divergences in governance, media, and democratic evolution. It’s a rich resource for scholars, educators, and collectors of original French academic texts on Anglo-American studies.
