Recenzje

The New Party Challenge provides a deeply original insight into the birth and death of political parties. Deegan-Krause and Haughton use their comprehensive examination of party politics across Central Europe during the decades since the end of communism as a mould for understanding how agency, timing, and structure interact to shape the fate of political parties. This book is comparative politics at its finest and has the making of a classic.
