Why do people identify with political parties? How stable are those
identifications? Stable party systems, with a limited number of
parties and mostly stable voter identification with a party, are
normally considered significant signals of a steady democracy. In
Dynamic Partisanship, Ken Kollman and John E. Jackson study
changing patterns of partisanship in the United States, the United
Kingdom, Canada, and Australia over the last fifty years in order
to disentangle possible reasons for shifting partisanship and party
identification. The authors argue that changes in partisanship can
be explained by adjustments in voters' attitudes toward issues or
parties; the success or failure of policies advocated by parties;
or alterations in parties' positions on key issues. They contend
that, while all three factors contribute, it is the latter, a party
changing positions on a chief concern, that most consistently leads
voters to or from a particular party. Their approach provides a
deeper knowledge of the critical moving parts in democratic
politics.
