Throughout history parties have faltered and new groups have
emerged, but rarely has this process been so accelerated, so
widespread, and so conducive to dramatic political change as in our
present era. When Parties Fail explores alternative organizations
in depth and comparatively. Among the organizations discussed are
environmentalist groups, such as the West German and Swedish
Greens, the Italian Radicals, and local protest groups in Japan,
Switzerland, and the United States. Also considered are new groups
seeking attention in unresponsive party systems, such as the Danish
Gilstrup party, the British SDP, and American PACs; community
parties and movements in Israel, India, Britain, and the American
South; and antiauthoritarian movements in Poland (Solidarity),
Taiwan, and Ghana. The case of France provides an example of major
party survival. Three broadly comparative chapters consider the
reasons for major party persistence in some nations and the causes
and impact of their decline in others. The contributors to the book
are David Apter, Myron J. Aronoff, Liang-shing Fan, Frank B.
Feigert, Zvi Gitelman, Ronald J. Herring, Jon Kraus, Kay Lawson,
