One of the truisms in American politics has been that "divisive"
primaries hurt the party's prospects of winning the presidency in
the general election. However, traditional definitions of divisive
primaries focus too much on candidate behavior and not enough on
the actual divisions and fractures within a party. The Invisible
Hands of Political Parties in Presidential Elections proposes a new
measure of party cohesion that instead looks at individual donors
who are willing to contribute to multiple candidates during the
early stages of the presidential primaries. The authors of this
collection reveal how these preprimary donor networks can serve as
an accurate barometer of party unity, providing a significant
perspective on the changing roles of political parties in American
government today.
