摘要:"How Political Parties Respond focuses specifically on the question of interest aggregation: do parties today perform that function? If so, how, and if not, in what different ways do they seek to show themselves responsive to the electorate?" "Until now, such changes have been more widely studied in the United States than in other democracies; this book studies the question with reference to the following democracies: Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Canada." "This book will be of great interest to students and researchers of politics, and party politics in particular; comparative politics and democratic theory."--Jacket.
