Dr. McHale received his Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State University in 1969. Although
his dissertation dealt only with French politics, his research and publication foci since
then have expanded to include politics, political systems, and socio-political change in
all of Europe, with his most recent article being "Democratic Transition and the
Evolution of Mass Politics in Post-Communist Central and Eastern Europe," Historical
Social Research (XX:2, 1995). His books include Vote, Clivages Socio-politiques, et
Developpement Regional en Belgique (1974), Evaluating Transnational Programs in
Government and Business (co-edited, 1980), and he currently is revising his 1983
two-volume edited work, Political Parties of Europe. Professor McHale joined the
CWRU faculty in 1975, served as department chairperson from 1976 to 2003, and
has formulated and
directed the International Studies Program since 1991.
