Description

Politics without Power offers a comprehensive examination of the national committees of the major political parties in the United States, exploring their role as symbols of party government and their relationship to America's heritage of peaceful political change. Cotter and Hennessy provide critical insights into why these national committees function as largely headless, drifting organisations despite their intended prominence in party structures. The book argues that the vagueness of the committees' responsibilities between presidential elections represents a fundamental source of their organisational limitations. This Routledge publication delves into what national committees actually are, who comprises their membership, and why they serve as substitutes for party ideologies rather than coherent governing bodies. Essential reading for students of political science, government administration, and American political history seeking to understand the structural dynamics and practical constraints of party committee governance.
