Political Transitions in Dominant Party Systems
This outstanding anthology has a clear and innovative vision and combines a series of top quality chapters. I expect that it will become a staple of comparative politics, widely read and cited and assigned in comparative politics core seminars for years to come.
Barrett L. McCormick, Marquette University
This is a path-breaking study by leading scholars of comparative politics examining the internal transformations of dominant parties in both authoritarian and democratic settings. The principle question examined in this book is what happens to dominant political parties when they lose or face the very real prospects of losing? Using country-specific case studies, top-rank analysts in the field focus on the lessons that dominant parties might learn from losing and the adaptations they consequently make in order to survive, to remain competitive or to ultimately re-gain power.
Providing historically based, comparative research on issues of theoretical importance, Political Transitions in Dominant Party Systems will be invaluable reading for students and scholars of comparative politics, international politics and political parties.
