Political Parties in Advanced Industrial Democracies - Hardcover

by Paul Webb (Editor), David M. Farrell (Editor), Ian Holliday (Editor)

Drawing on the expertise of an impressive team of internationally known specialists, the book engages systematically with the evidence to show that, while a degree of popular cynicism towards them is often chronic, though rarely acute, parties have adapted and survived as organizations, remodelling themselves to the needs of an era in which patterns of linkage and communication with social groups have been transformed.
