Part of the "Longman Classics in Political Science" series, this gold standard of parties texts has been updated to include an even greater emphasis on the elements that engage students' interest: real people's stories and current debates about party politics.
Party Politics in America analyzes three primary components of parties-party organization, party in the electorate, party in government-and the interaction of these components, especially during election campaigns. Originally written by Frank Sorauf and now authored by Majorie Hershey and Paul Beck, the book integrates academic research with contemporary and historical examples, to bring to life the fascinating story of how parties have helped to shape our political system. The revision of the 10th edition includes an array of updates throughout the text and two new boxed features, as well as a new Foreword by John Aldrich of Duke University.
