How Parties Win: Shaping the Irish Political Arena
ISBN: 9780472036127 / Angielski / Miękka / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent decades, Ireland's three major political parties have maintained over 80 percent of the vote in the face of rapidly shifting social divisions, political values, and controversial issues, though not by giving voice to particular interest groups or reacting to issues of the day.

By relegating divisive issues to extraparliamentary institutions, such as referenda or national wage bargaining systems, major parties mitigate...
