In light of this, the... Hong Kong's Legislative Council Elections have been riddled with difficulties. The first, partial elections introduced in 1991 were tainted by the ... |

Taiwan's 2001 Legislative, Magistrates and Mayors Election: Further Consolidating Democracy?
ISBN: 9789812381934 / Angielski / Miękka / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This election made President Chen's party, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), the largest party in the legislature and gave him an opportunity to implement his agenda -- which he had not been able to do previously due to the opposition's large legislative majority and the political gridlock that had plagued Taiwan for some months.

ISBN: 9780199350247 / Angielski / Twarda / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Given the advanced state of digital technology and social media, one would think that the Democratic and Republican Parties would be reasonably well-matched in terms of their technology uptake and sophistication. But as past presidential campaigns have shown, this is not the case. So what explains this odd disparity? Political scientists have shown that Republicans effectively used the strategy of party building and networking to gain campaign and electoral advantage throughout the twentieth century. In Prototype Politics, Daniel Kreiss argues that contemporary campaigning has...
