This important new text brings together an outstanding group of
international scholars to look at the current state of electoral
politics around the world. Elements of the modern (or American)
model of election campaigning have been adopted in many countries
in recent years--including the use of mass media, the
personalization of campaigns, use of public opinion polls, and a
general professionalization of campaigns--and conditions would seem
to favor the spread of that model. Contributors to this volume,
from established democracies, new and restored democracies, and
democracies facing destabilizing pressure, examine the extent to
which electoral politics in their countries have been affected by
the emergence of high-tech professional campaigns. Countries
examined provide a cross-section of today's democracies, including
the United States, Britain, Sweden, Germany, Russia, Poland, Spain,
Israel, Italy, Argentina, and Venezuela. The work will be of
interest to scholars and students alike in political communication,
political parties and elections, and comparative politics.
