Rhetoric crying for more effective or reflective or representative democracy often lacks data to back up its claims. This book provides readers with a wealth of empirical detail: a refreshing and meticulous examination of political parties in ten democracies in Western Europe and East and Southeast Asia. It aims at providing skeptics and supporters of political parties alike with down-to-earth empirical realities. It is a must-read for everyone interested in the future of political parties and democracy in a century of globalization"--Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Political parties $z Europe, Western. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Europe, Western. 650 0 $a Political parties $z Asia. 650 0 $a Democracy $z Asia. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Political Parties $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Ideologies / Democracy $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Government / Comparative $2 bisacsh 700 1 $a Inoguchi, Takashi. 700 1 $a Blondel, Jean, $d 1929- 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers2/bk1388/190/9781137277190/image/lgcover.9781137277190.jpg 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826064238.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1429F876888711E2989098C5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
