Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively explores the enduring consequences of political party control, a defining force in American politics, which has historically concentrated authority in the hands of select elites rather than with the electorate at large. The author shows that these power imbalances are both a product and cause of manipulative and often corrupt practices. Through detailed historical analysis, the book reveals how, since the country's inception, grassroots movements, such as campaigns for women's suffrage and civil rights, have been stymied by machinations at the party level. Tracing the machinations of political control from the era of the caucus through the rise of the convention system and into the direct primary era, the book shows how tactics have changed, but the goals of those in control have not. The author concludes that an informed citizenry is the best bulwark against political party control and offers specific suggestions for reform to empower individual voters.
