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. Elaborating
on the analytical tools developed to study the US experience this
framework engages with primary elections in Europe and Asia
offering a theoretical, comparative and empirical account of the
emergence of party primaries and an invaluable guide to internal
electoral processes and their impact.
