Inhaltsangabe

In countries with multiparty political systems, we assume--if the system is going to work--that parties have relatively stable positions on policy, that these positions diverge, and that voters make choices based on policy preferences. Yet much of the research on voter behavior and party competition does not support these assumptions.
In Party Competition, James Adams applies the insights of behavioral research to an examination of the policy strategies that political parties (and candidates) employ in seeking election. He argues that vote-seeking parties are motivated to present policies that appeal to voters, whose bias toward these policies is based in part on reasons that have nothing to do with policy. He demonstrates that this strategic logic has profound implications for party competition and responsible party government.
Adams's innovative fusion of research methodologies presents solutions to issues of policy stability and voter partisanship. His theory's supported by an in-depth analysis of empirical applications to party competition in Britain, France, and the United States in the postwar years.
Party Competition and Responsible Party Government will appeal to readers interested in the study of political parties, voting behavior and elections, as well as to scholars specializing in French, British, and American politics.
James Adams is Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of California, Santa Barbara.

Anbieterinformationen

The Old Stoic is a retailer of secondhand nonfiction, academic, specialist books, antique books and collectables. I am an academic writer based in Haworth, West Yorkshire, otherwise known as 'Bront�ville', the small town known as the home of the literary family. The collection was begun by my late father, who began it in the book-town of Hay-on-Wye, where he developed his book collecting skills working for 'The King of Hay' Richard Booth. I stock predominately humanities, arts and social studies, from philosophy, politics, international relations, psychology and theology, and art theory, literary criticism and media, but I also have sciences and some fiction, including a small collection of Welsh writer Rhys Davies, including many personalised signed copies he gave as gifts to friends. All books are secondhand but in good, solid condition.
