Fianna Fail was for most of the 20th century the democratic world's
most successful political party. It dominated the politics of
Ireland from 1932, when it first took power, until 2011 when it
became a prominent electoral victim of the Great Recession. This
book provides original research that explains how Fianna Fail
became dominant and managed its coalitions of support to maintain
that position for eight decades. It gathers prominent political
scientists who focus on a variety of factors including its
ideological flexibility, control of state resources and the venue
for decision making, the party's leadership, its organisation and
communications strategies. In addition the book takes a comparative
approach to understanding the position of dominant parties in
democratic countries, and uses empirical data to understand the
sources of its support and decline. It is a book that will be of
interest not only to scholars of Ireland, but also to those who
wish to understand the sources of power of dominant political
parties and the impact of the Great Recession on democratic
politics. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Irish Political Studies.
