Description

This Routledge academic work examines why non-viable political parties worldwide continue presenting candidates despite Duvergerian theories predicting their withdrawal or coalition. The book addresses a fundamental gap in political science by developing a comprehensive theory of deviations from Duvergerian equilibrium, arguing that parties' decisions to contest elections represent rational strategic choices rather than random behaviour. It explores competition and contamination effects within electoral systems, offering scholars and researchers a rigorous framework for understanding party behaviour, electoral dynamics, and the forces that shape political competition across different democratic systems.

Key Features

Routledge-published academic text that examines non-viable party behaviour in electoral systems and competition dynamics.

Develops a general theory explaining why political parties deviate from Duvergerian equilibrium predictions.

Explores competition and contamination effects to understand rational decision-making in electoral contests.

Provides comprehensive analysis of party strategy, electoral coalition formation, and systemic factors influencing candidate presentation.
