"Comparative Political Parties and Party Elites" presents a
comparative analysis of political parties and party elites in
contemporary democracies. The cases covered include developed and
developing countries ranging from the United States to the new
democracies of Central and Eastern Europe.
The contributors reexamine some of the classical issues found in
the behavioral literature on political parties and party elites,
shedding new light on issues such as the influence of women on
political parties, the impact on parties of social change, the
relationship between electoral alliances and political outcomes,
the effect of emerging elites on parties, and the role of parties
as links between the masses and government elites.
The contributors--all students of Samuel J. Eldersveld--put this
volume together in his honor. As Dwanine Marvick puts it, "[They]
bring Professor Elderveld's concern with evidence and with methods
of inquiry--an insistence on feasible and tested procedures, a
shrewdness about how questions should be phrased, a sensitivity
about the changing responsiveness of aging institutions to
unfolding contextual realities to bear on these significant
questions. . . ."
This volume fills a vacuum in the existing literature on political
parties and party elites. Elite literature, in particular, has been
ignored in recent studies in political science. As such, it is of
interest to scholars and graduate students of political parties and
elites.
Birol A. Yesilada is Chair and Associate Professor, Department of
Political Science, University of Missouri, Columbia.
