Party Primaries in Comparative PerspectiveDr Giulia Sandri, Dr Antonella Seddone, Asst Prof Fulvio Venturino Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 28 sept. 2015 - 242 pages Primary elections for choosing party leaders and candidates are now becoming commonplace in Europe, Asia and America but questions as to how much they hinder a party’s organizational strength and cohesion or affect electoral performance have largely been ignored outside of the USA. Party Primaries in Comparative Perspective gives a much-needed conceptualization to this topic, describing the function and nature of primary elections and providing a comparative analytical framework to the impact of primaries on the internal and external functioning of political parties. |
