Recenzje

'In The Fates of Political Parties, Cyr takes us past the hang-wringing stage of party crisis and pushes us to consider what comes next. Theoretically and conceptually, the book is rich … It is equally impressive as a study in how to conduct rigorous, question-driven, and theoretically informed fieldwork.' Ryan E. Carlin, Latin American Research Review
