Arguing that the party system is crucial to the functioning of a democracy, the authors show how its flexibility has allowed it to adapt to changes in American society and ensured its continuing survival and vitality. The first undergraduate text to present a complete, up-to-date look at the importance of race and ethnicity in political parties, the book also features extensive coverage of third parties, campaign finance, new technology, and divided government. This study of American political parties is a radical revision of the 1982 book. It is the result of a reexamination of the working of our system, which led to a new description of how that system has changed, as well as how and why it has endured. 4aPolitical Parties 4aAmerican Party  a11209/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11210/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11209/MKRI-P/XII-2008  a11210/MKRI-P/XII-2008
