| Tóm tắt: | Why do some political parties flourish while others flounder? In this book, Bonnie M.
Meguid examines variation in the electoral trajectories of the new set of single-issue
parties: green, radical right, and ethnoterritorial parties. Instead of being dictated
by electoral institutions or the socio-economic climate, as the dominant theories
contend, the fortunes of these niche parties, she argues, are shaped by the strategic
responses of mainstream parties. She advances a new theory of party competition
in which mainstream parties facing unequal competitors have access to a wider and
more effective set of strategies than posited by standard spatial models. Combining
statistical analyses with in-depth case studies from Western Europe, the book
explores how and why established parties undermine niche parties or turn them
into weapons against their mainstream party opponents. This study of competition
between unequals thus provides broader insights into the nature and outcome of
competition between political equals |
