Description
Now in an updated edition, this book continues the ongoing debate on the realignment perspective. Because it takes more seriously the role of leadership in effecting partisan change than the roles of the parties or the electorate, the text plays directly into contemporary theories about the new institutionalism, ideological governance and divided government.
