The relevance of this book to central concerns of political and
social science hardly needs emphasizing. Parties are the organizing
force of democratic governments, giving coherence and direction to
their policies and relating them to popular preferences. Election
programmes are crucial to this role, providing electors with some
insight into the policies they are voting for, and parties
themselves with a starting point for their activity in government.
Discussion begins with a comparative assessment of the impact of
election pledges on government action. The book goes on to describe
systematically the place of the programmes in the political process
of nineteen democracies. It subjects them to detailed qualitative,
quantitative and spatial analyses to answer such questions as: Who
prepares election programmes and how? What is the nature of modern
party divisions? Do they differ across countries? Is there indeed
an 'end of ideology' or an intensification? Does the need to
attract votes weaken old partisan attachments? Combining individual
studies of each country with comparative analyses on a scale never
previously undertaken, the book will interest country specialists
and comparativists and prove indispensable to research on voting
and party behaviour, coalition formation, ideology, and rational
choice.
