Názov : | Party people : candidates and party evolution / | Typ dokumentu: | printed text | Autori: | Allan Sikk ; Philipp Koker | Údaje o vydaní (edition statement): | 1. | Vydavateľ: | Oxford : Oxford University Press | Dátum vydania: | 2023 | Stránkovanie: | 255 pages | ISBN (alebo iný kód): | 978-0-19-886812-5 | Jazyky : | English (eng) | Abstrakt: | "Political parties are nothing without their people and candidates are essential to parties' core functions-contesting elections, filling political offices, and shaping policy. Inspired by evolutionary theories, Party People: Candidates and Party Evolution conceptualizes candidates as 'party genes' and develops a candidate-based approach to party evolution. Tracking candidates between elections and parties opens new perspectives on party development in complex and dynamic settings of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and beyond. Based on an original database 'Electoral Candidates in CEE' (ECCEE) of 200 000 electoral candidates from over 60 elections across nine CEE democracies, this book presents a groundbreaking study of party evolution using candidate change as an indicator of party change. The book offers a series of methodological and conceptual innovations for measuring candidate turnover, party fission and fusion, programmatic change, and party leader change. Party People: Candidates and Party Evolution makes a major contribution to the study of CEE party politics as well as to the general scholarship on elections, parties, and political change"-- |
