The liberal conservative myth and political science -- A political theory of American party ideology development -- The presidency and party theories of foreign intervention -- Unified government and party theories of economic intervention -- The Supreme Court and party theories of judicial intervention -- Politics, history, and American party ideology development.
Summary:
"This book tells the story of American party ideology development by chronicling the ideas and rhetoric articulated by the two major parties throughout U.S. history: from the Federalists and Republicans of the late eighteenth century, to the Whigs and Democrats of the mid-nineteenth century, to the Republicans and Democrats of today. Unlike most scholars of American party ideologies, I emphasize how they have changed over time rather than how they have stayed the same"-- Provided by publisher.
