Synopsis American Political Parties and Elections by : Louis Sandy Maisel
Few Americans and even fewer citizens of other nations understand the electoral process in the United States. Still fewer understand the role played by political parties in the electoral process or the ironies within the system. Participation in elections in the United States is much lower than in the vast majority of mature democracies. Perhaps this is because of the lack of competition in a country where only two parties have a true chance of winning, despite the fact that a large number of citizens claim allegiance to neither and think badly of both. Or perhaps it is because in the U.S. campaign contributions disproportionately favor incumbents in most legislative elections, or that largely unregulated groups such as the now notorious 527s have as much impact on the outcome of a campaign as do the parties or the candidates' campaign organizations. These factors offer a very clear picture of the problems that underlay our much trumpeted electoral system. The second edition of this Very Short Introduction introduces the reader to these issues and more. Drawing on updated data and new examples from the 2016 presidential nominations, L. Sandy Maisel provides an insider's view of how the system actually works while shining a light on some of its flaws. He also illustrates the growing impact of campaigning through social media, the changes in campaign financing wrought by the Supreme Court recent decisions, and the Tea Party's influence on the sub-presidential nominating process. As the United States enter what is sure to be yet another highly contested election year, it is more important than ever that Americans take the time to learn the system that puts so many in power.

Synopsis American Political Parties and Elections: a Very Short Introduction by : L. Sandy Maisel
"American Political Parties and Elections: A Very Short Introduction examines the electoral process in the United States and explains why it is widely misunderstood. Why is participation in elections so much lower in the United States than in other mature democracies? What role do the political parties play in the electoral process? And why do unregulated groups such as 527 advocacy organizations have as much, if not more, influence than candidates' campaign organizations? This VSI examines these and other issues to provide an insider's view of how the system actually works and why there remain only two main political parties, despite the fact that many citizens claim allegiance to neither and think badly of both"--

Synopsis Parties and Politics in America by : Clinton Rossiter
A distinguished historian and political scientist provides a forthright and objective account of American party politics in this concise and invaluable guide. In vigorous and lively language he examines the two major parties--"the peacemakers of the American community"--describing their historic functions and the way they have helped to achieve national unity. He discusses their make-up, their achievements and failures, the images each has established of itself and of the opposition party. The demographic forces influencing the American voter and the complex question of how the parties actually differ receive thought-provoking treatment. This invigorating analysis of the hard facts of American political life will live far beyond the election year of 1960.

Synopsis Politics, Parties, and Elections in America by : John F. Bibby
The third edition of Politics, Parties, and Elections in America is a comprehensive text that incorporates the latest research concerning what political parties do, how they are organized, how party leaders behave, the impact of parties on government, and the evolving nature of parties. Bibby's experience in national and state politics and the use of current political events, such as the Clinton presidency, the Republican sweep in the 1994 elections, and the 1996 presidential nominating politics, give the text a practical political orientation and make the material interesting and understandable. This revealing survey of American politics also discusses the limitations of political parties, the mechanics of elections, and how American politics have come to be controlled by the political parties.

Synopsis Parties and Elections in America by : Louis Sandy Maisel
This comprehensive text surveys political parties (including their histories and organizations) and elections (including the processes, strategies, and personalities of the electoral process) at the national, state, and local levels. An analysis of state and local elections should allow students with little background in the topic to explore the similarities and differences between state and local elections and national elections. The combined analysis of campaigns and elections should help students understand the crucial integration between the two in the American electoral process. Clear explanations of the presidential electoral process aim to assist students to grasp the difficulties of organizing and mounting a presidential campaign. The text includes illustrations and case-studies, as well as chapter-ending sections which provide real-world applications to the topic at hand.
