'Building Party Systems in Developing Democracies is a welcome addition to the growing literature on democratization. While most scholars are content to focus on electoral rules, Hicken argues that this only tells half of the story by giving pride of place to political parties. This book is theoretically sophisticated, analytically rigorous and empirically rich. It will certainly take its place on the bookshelves of scholars and practitioners alike.' David Leblang, University of Virginia 'Allen Hicken addresses a very important problem in the scholarship on party systems: the emergence or failure of coordination across districts and regions between candidates competing in elections at the district level. His work fills a major theoretical and empirical gap in our understanding of the relationship between election rules and political parties. As the author shows compellingly, this subject is an essential element in the development of national party systems, shaping the number of parties and their orientation to political issues. This book makes an important contribution, theoretically and empirically, and will receive a great deal of attention and be widely cited.' G. Bingham Powell, University of Rochester 'Allen Hicken has written a rigorous and important book on how effective party systems emerge in the developing world. Scholars of comparative politics as well as Asian politics will learn much from the book's unique insights into the incentives of politicians to coordinate, and from the remarkable accumulation of data that supports its theoretical claims.' Shanker Satyanath, New York University '... this valuable volume also has the merit of providing unique data ... and extensive analysis ... Well written, benefiting from a clear style and arguments, deeply rooted in the party politics literature and institutional analyses and with efficient methodology, Hicken's book is another solid brick in the wall of comparative analyses in developing democracies.' Political Studies Review 'Building Party Systems in Developing Democracies is a well-written book and is a valuable contribution to the political party literature. Scholars and students of political parties will find this book interesting, thought-provoking and stimulating reading.' Acta PoliticaMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware.
