Author: Peter Mair
Publisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0198275838
Category : Europe
Languages : en

The analysis of party systems in Western Europe has long constituted a major focus of concern in comparative political science. Now for the first time, many of the classic writings in this field have been collected into a single volume. The collection contains seminal writings by Weber, Neumann, Duverger, Kirchheimer, Daalder, Rokkan, and Sartori, as well as a selection from the more recent debates on changes in European party systems, including the contributions of Pedersen, Wolinetz, and Inglehart. The writings cover the development, stabilization, and transformation of party systems and include some of the key analyses which have sought to distinguish between different types of party systems.

On Parties, Party Systems and Democracy
Author: Peter Mair
Publisher: ECPR Press
ISBN: 190730178X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 666
Book Description
This collection brings together some of the most significant and influential work by leading comparativist Peter Mair (1951–2011). The selection ranges from considerations on the relevance of concept formation to the study of party systems and party organisations; and from reflections on the democratic legitimacy of the European Union to the future of party democracy. Including frequently cited papers alongside lesser-known work, the writings collected in this volume attest to the broad scope and depth of Mair’s insights into comparative party politics, and the changing realities of party government. As such, they form an important and enduring contribution to the study of politics, and a fitting tribute to an inspirational and much-missed figure in the global political science community. Edited and introduced by Ingrid van Biezen, with an intellectual portrait of Peter Mair by Stefano Bartolini and Hans Daalder.

Riding the Populist Wave
Author: Tim Bale
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009007114
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 371
Book Description
In spite of the fact that Conservative, Christian democratic and Liberal parties continue to play a crucial role in the democratic politics and governance of every Western European country, they are rarely paid the attention they deserve. This cutting-edge comparative collection, combining qualitative case studies with large-N quantitative analysis, reveals a mainstream right squeezed by the need to adapt to both 'the silent revolution' that has seen the spread of postmaterialist, liberal and cosmopolitan values and the backlash against those values – the 'silent counter-revolution' that has brought with it the rise of a myriad far right parties offering populist and nativist answers to many of the continent's thorniest political problems. What explains why some mainstream right parties seem to be coping with that challenge better than others? And does the temptation to ride the populist wave rather than resist it ultimately pose a danger to liberal democracy?

Changing Party Systems in Western Europe
Author: David Broughton
Publisher: Burns & Oates
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
This book analyses the changing pressures and demands placed on the party systems in eleven countries of Western Europe since 1945. It includes studies of the party system in the 'big four' Western European countries: Britain, France, Italy and Germany, as well as the systems in Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Sweden, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands. Five major themes are examined in each chapter: the broad development of the party system, including a discussion of how different party system typologies have been applied in each country; a detailed discussion of the historical background to party system development; the most important contextual variables in terms of the 'electoral environment' within which the party system operates; the degree of 'unfreezing' of the party system since 1945 and the changing balance between stability and change; and, finally, major questions of change and adaptation which bring the chapters up to the present. The book is important for its identification of broad trends within the mature, Western European party systems. The analyses are up-to-date and empirical, emphasizing the further 'defreezing' in the party systems that has occurred in the 1990s.

Political Entrepreneurs

Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691194750
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
"The years since the financial crisis have been marked by a remarkable stability in national government which hides the impact of a new kind of issue based politics which has arisen with parties such as Podemos in Spain, Srizia in Greece, The National Front in France and UKiP in the UK, all of whom have had a significant influence in shaping the political agenda in their own countries even if they have not actually secured formal power. This is the first book to present a rigorous yet accessible analysis of this phenomenon, grounded in the theories and methods of quantitative political science but drawing on empirical insights and theory from political psychology and sociology as well to try to understand the similarities and differences in the circumstances that have lead to these parties springing up and shaping political discourse and even policy to an extent that has challenged the very existence of the traditional party system"--

Changing Party Systems in Western Europe
Author: David Broughton
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1855673282
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
This is an analysis of the changing pressures and demands placed on party systems in 11 countries in Western Europe since 1945. This book includes studies of the party system in Britain, France, Italy and Germany, as well as studies of Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Sweden, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands. Five major themes are examined in each chapter. First, the broad development of the party system is accompanied by a discussion of how different party system typologies have been applied to each country. Secondly, a detailed discussion of the historical background to party system developments is provided, dealing with the main divisions derived from the typology of Lipset and Rokkan. Thirdly, the most important contextual variables are considered in terms of the "electoral environment" within which the party system operates. Next, consideration is given to the degree of "unfreezing" of the party system since 1945 and the changing balance between stability and change. Finally, major questions of change and adaptation are examined, updating the text.
