Using the techniques of the historian, the anthropologist, and the political theorist, Lawson discusses the contemporary political situation in Fiji from both a historical and theoretical viewpoint.

True Blues: The Politics of Conservative Party Membership
ISBN: 9780198277859 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is the first in-depth study of this crucial section of the Conservative Party.

The book challenges the stereotypical view of the Conservative activist as an eccentric and politically irrelevant Thatcher-loving extremist. Instead, the authors argue that the grass roots membership are the unsung heroes of political life; helping to keep the party...

ISBN: 9780198279181 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why would parties continue to care about membership enrollment in an age of television campaigning and direct mail fundraising? To answer this question, Susan Scarrow traces organizing strategies employed by British and German membership parties during the past half century. Using careful analysis of historical records and interviews with party officials, she shows that party organizers have reacted to technological and social developments by modifying their ideas about how members can help parties achieve their goals.

This book examines the actual behavior of 400 governments in 20 postwar democracies (including those of Western Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Israel) to determine how political parties operate and shape the special characteristics of individual governments.

This is the first full-length book to examine how we interpret evidence of change and stability in modern parties and party systems. Focusing primarily on processes of political adaptation and control, it also concerns how parties and party systems generate their own momentum and "freeze" themselves into place. Amid the widespread contemporary discussions of the challenge to modern democracy and the crisis of traditional forms of political representation, if offers a welcome emphasis on how party systems survive, and on how change, when it does occur, may be analyzed and understood.
