Description
In this second volume of Ghazarian, Taflaga and Bonotti's two-part collection, the editors examine the importance of political parties and how they impact local, national, and international contexts by assembling a range of experts to analyse the Liberal Party in Australia, both historically and in contemporary times.
The book explores the public policy, organisational, and electoral challenges confronting parties not only Australia but also other liberal democracies in the 21st Century. It also explores the ways in which the Liberal Party of Australia has sought to address these challenges while trying to maintain electoral support and organisational cohesion. In doing so, it makes a significant contribution to understanding the Liberal Party and right-of-centre parties around the world.
This is an essential volume for scholars, researchers, students, and general readers who are seeking an authoritative analysis of right-of-centre political parties from around the world and how they impact policy in practice.
