商品簡介
Baumer and Gold (both government, Smith College) empirically investigate the academic and popular impression that the two parties that dominate US electoral politics are diverging ideologically to offer voters a clear choice between two radical alternatives. They discuss political parties in the 21st century; images of the parties; the dynamics of party polarization; the midterm elections of 1994 and 2006; congress, presidents, and gridlock when parties are in power; political parties in Anglo- America; and the election of 2008 and the future of American politics.
