Part of the “Longman Classics in Political Science” series and the gold standard of political parties texts, this new edition includes in-depth analysis of the 2006 campaigns and election and previews what lies ahead for the parties in the 2008 and 2010 Presidential and Congressional Elections.Party Politics in America analyzes the interaction of the three primary components of parties–party organization, party in the electorate, and party in government. Originally written by Frank Sorauf and now authored by Marjorie Hershey, the book integrates research with contemporary and historical examples to bring the fascinating story of how parties have helped to shape our political system to life.
I used this text when I was an undergraduate political science major at NYU in the mid-70s; I used this more recent edition for a talk on 3rd parties that I am delivering next month. Still worthwhile, although this edition (1988) is somewhat out of date, but good for the historical treatment of the development of the US party system.
