How have Europe's mainstream political parties responded to the
long-term decline in voter loyalties?
What are the consequences of this change in the electoral
markets in which parties now operate?
Popular disengagement, disaffection, and withdrawal on the one
hand, and increasing popular support for protest parties on the
other, have become the hallmarks of modern European politics.
This book provides an excellent account of how political parties
in Western Europe are perceiving and are responding to these
contemporary challenges of electoral dealignment.
Each chapter employs a common format to present and compare the
changing strategies of established parties and party systems in
Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, and
Ireland.
The result is an invaluable portrait of the changing electoral
environment and how parties are interacting with each another and
voters today.
Political Parties and Electoral Change is essential reading for
anybody seeking a deeper understanding of contemporary electoral
politics and of the challenges facing west European party
systems.
