Parties and Elections in America by L Sandy Maisel
Parties and Elections in America: The Electoral Process covers all elements of parties and the electoral process, including local, state, and national party organizations; American party history and party systems; state and local nominations; state and local elections; presidential nominations; and presidential elections. Separate chapters are devoted to the important subjects of the media in the electoral process and campaign finance. The role of political parties in representative democracy--and their contributions to it--are examined critically. The sixth edition incorporates the results of the 2010 midterm elections.
Once again this book is invaluable for understanding American Political PartiesIt is comprehensive, well-written, and accessible. It is rich with examples that illustrate the general arguments of the book. It provides up-to-date information. Most important, anyone reading this will have an excellent sense of the context, role and impact of American Political Parties. -- Jeffrey M. Stonecash, Maxwell Professor of Political Science, Syracuse University
This masterful book has everything an instructor could hope for in a parties and elections text. It explores the history of parties as a means of illuminating the present, examines the organizational dimensions as thoroughly as the behavioral dimensions, and captures the dynamic aspects with the same precision as it explains the regularities. Sandy Maisel and Mark Brewer's Parties and Elections in America is more than a thoughtful summary of the best scholarship on the subject. It is a superb scholarly contribution in its own right. -- Thomas E. Patterson, Bradlee Professor of Government and the Press, Harvard University
