When people discuss politics, they often mention the promises
politicians make during election campaigns. Promises raise hopes
that positive policy changes are possible, but people are generally
skeptical of these promises. Party Mandates and Democracy reveals
the extent to and conditions under which governments fulfill party
promises during election campaigns. Contrary to conventional wisdom
a majority of pledges-sometimes a large majority-are fulfilled in
most countries, most of the time. The fulfillment of parties'
election pledges is an essential part of the democratic process.
This book is the first major, genuinely comparative study of
promises across a broad range of countries and elections, including
the United States, Canada, nine Western European countries, and
Bulgaria. The book thus adds to the body of literature on the
variety of outcomes stemming from alternative democratic
institutions.
