Political parties and elections are the mainsprings of modern
democracy. In this classic volume, Richard S. Katz explores the
problem of how a given electoral system affects the role of
political parties and the way in which party members are elected.
He develops and tests a theory of the differences in the cohesion,
ideological behavior, and issue orientation of Western
parliamentary parties on the basis of the electoral systems under
which they compete. A standard in the field of political theory and
thought, "The Theory of Parties and the Electoral System"
contributes to a better understanding of parliamentary party
structures and demonstrates the wide utility of the rationalistic
approach for explaining behavior derived from the self-interest of
political actors.
