Ruling the Void by Peter Mair
Analyzes democratic trends over the decades in Europe and America. This book argues that there are two complementary processes at work. It argues that popular disengagement, and the withdrawal of political elites from a representative role, are contributing to the death of the political party.
‘Peter Mair was one of the leading scholars in the area of comparative politicsHe was especially noted for his path-breaking work on change in both political party organizations and party systems … and his insights into the intersections of politics and society were always worth hearing and reading.’
ALAN WARE, Professor of Politics at Oxford University and author of The American Direct Primary
