Throughout the contest for the 2008 Democratic presidential
nomination, politicians and voters alike worried that the outcome
might depend on the preferences of unelected superdelegates. This
concern threw into relief the prevailing notion that--such
unusually competitive cases notwithstanding--people, rather than
parties, should and do control presidential nominations. But for
the past several decades, "The Party Decides" shows, unelected
insiders in both major parties have effectively selected candidates
long before citizens reached the ballot box.
Political Ideologies and Political Parties in America puts ideology front and center in the discussion of party coalition change. Treating ideology as neither a nuisance nor a given, the analysis describes the development of the modern liberal and conservative ideologies that form the basis of our modern political parties. Hans Noel shows that liberalism and conservatism emerged as important forces independent of existing political parties. These ideologies then reshaped parties in their own image. Modern polarization can thus be explained as the natural outcome of living in a period, perhaps the first in our history, in which two dominant ideologies have captured the two dominant political parties.
