In Dynamics of American Political Parties, Mark D. Brewer and
Jeffrey M. Stonecash examine the process of gradual change that
inexorably shapes and reshapes American politics. Parties and the
politicians that comprise them seek control of government in order
to implement their visions of proper public policy. To gain control
parties need to win elections, and winning elections requires
assembling an electoral coalition that is larger than that crafted
by the opposition. Parties are always looking for opportunities to
build such winning coalitions, and opportunities are always there,
but they are rarely, if ever, without risk. Uncertainty rules and
intra-party conflict rages as different factions and groups within
the parties debate the proper course(s) of action and battle it out
for control of the party. Parties can never be sure how their
strategic maneuvers will play out, and, even when it appears that a
certain strategy has been successful, party leaders are unclear
about how long apparent success will last. Change unfolds slowly,
in fits and starts.
