Description

Gain a deep understanding of political structures with Party Government: American Government in Action by E. E. Schattschneider. Published by Routledge, this classic study offers a clear look at how political parties function within the American system. Instead of viewing parties as simple entities, this work examines them as organized attempts to gain control of the government within a highly competitive landscape. Readers will explore how major parties maintain supremacy over minor parties and the ways in which the distribution of power works in practice. Schattschneider looks closely at the internal processes of parties, an area often overlooked in other political treatises. By treating the party as a process that grows around elections, this book provides a necessary framework for anyone studying the mechanics of American politics and the competition for governmental control.
