In this book, Carol Mershon and Olga Shvetsova explore one of the
central questions in democratic politics: how much autonomy do
elected politicians have to shape and reshape the party system on
their own, without the direct involvement of voters in elections?
Mershon and Shvetsova's theory focuses on the choices of party
membership made by legislators while serving in office. It
identifies the inducements and impediments to legislators' changes
of partisan affiliation, and integrates strategic and institutional
approaches to the study of parties and party systems. With
empirical analyses comparing nine countries that differ in
electoral laws, territorial governance and executive-legislative
relations, Mershon and Shvetsova find that strategic incumbents
have the capacity to reconfigure the party system as established in
elections. Representatives are motivated to bring about change by
opportunities arising during the parliamentary term, and are
deterred from doing so by the elemental democratic practice of
elections.
