The American Voter Revisited by Michael S. Lewis-Beck,Helmut Norpoth,William G. Jacoby,Herbert F. Weisberg Pdf
Today we are politically polarized as never before. The presidential elections of 2000 and 2004 will be remembered as two of the most contentious political events in American history. Yet despite the recent election upheaval, The American Voter Revisited discovers that voter behavior has been remarkably consistent over the last half century. And if the authors are correct in their predictions, 2008 will show just how reliably the American voter weighs in, election after election. The American Voter Revisited re-creates the outstanding 1960 classic The American Voter---which was based on the presidential elections of 1952 and 1956---following the same format, theory, and mode of analysis as the original. In this new volume, the authors test the ideas and methods of the original against presidential election surveys from 2000 and 2004. Surprisingly, the contemporary American voter is found to behave politically much like voters of the 1950s. "Simply essential. For generations, serious students of American politics have kept The American Voter right on their desk. Now, everyone will keep The American Voter Revisited right next to it." ---Larry J. Sabato, Director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics and author of A More Perfect Constitution "The American Voter Revisited is destined to be the definitive volume on American electoral behavior for decades. It is a timely book for 2008, with in-depth analyses of the 2000 and 2004 elections updating and extending the findings of the original The American Voter. It is also quite accessible, making it ideal for graduate students as well as advanced undergrads." ---Andrew E. Smith, Director of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center "A theoretically faithful, empirically innovative, comprehensive update of the original classic." ---Sam Popkin, Professor of Political Science, University of California, San Diego Michael S.

Controversies in Voting Behavior by Richard G. Niemi,Herbert F. Weisberg Pdf
Sixteen newly selected readings from 1992-2001 examine US debates and data on six key issues: why voter turnout continues to be low, the impact of public lack of political information, what determines the vote, voters seeming preference for divided government, how politics affects party identification, and the party system in transition. Political scientists Niemi (U. of Rochester) and Weisberg (Ohio State U.) provide section introductions. c. Book News Inc.

Controversies In Voting Behavior, 4th Edition by Richard G Niemi,Herbert F Weisberg Pdf
"The sixteen readings in this volume, all of which are newly selected for this fourth edition, and most of which are reproduced in their entirety, are organized around six debates: Why is voter turnout low, and why is it declining? Does the public's lack of political information matter? What determines the vote, and to what extent do campaigns matter? Is divided government intentional on the part of voters? How much does politics affect party identification? Is the party system changing? Niemi and Weisberg supply section introductions that weave the readings together, establish useful context, and help to sort out conflicting interpretations and diverging opinions that emerge across the chapters. Collectively, the readings and supporting essays in Controversies in Voting Behavior provide an illuminating look at some of the most lively and fascinating issues being debated in this field today." -- Publisher.
Party Identification and Beyond by Ian Budge,Ivor Crewe,Dennis Farlie Pdf
First published in 1976, this classic volume of original essays provides a unique and comprehensive review of the approaches and assumptions that dominate the field of election studies and voting behaviour. Critical reviews of theory and established research are combined with innovative and original studies of a variety of European countries, as well as North America. The volume presents valuable comparative data and methodological insights, including statistical analyses of voting data and critical accounts of major approaches to the representation of voting and party competition. These include party identification (the socio-psychological approach); dimensional analysis (the production of party spaces based on social and political cleavages); and rational choice analysis (the interaction between voters and parties within a policy space). This edition includes a new introduction by Ian Budge.

Political Behavior of the American Electorate by William H. Flanigan,Nancy H. Zingale Pdf
To what extent does a person's income level or religious affiliation influence the choice of a political party? Who votes and why? Flanigan and Zingale explore these and other questions in this classic study of American political behavior. Incorporating 1992 data from the National Election Studies and other sources, the authors place recent voting trends -- such as voter turnout and party loyalty -- in a historical context of the past 40 years.
From Kosovo to Kabul, the last decade witnessed growing interest in ?electoral engineering?. Reformers have sought to achieve either greater government accountability through majoritarian arrangements or wider parliamentary diversity through proportional formula. Underlying the normative debates are important claims about the impact and consequences of electoral reform for political representation and voting behavior. The study compares and evaluates two broad schools of thought, each offering contracting expectations. One popular approach claims that formal rules define electoral incentives facing parties, politicians and citizens. By changing these rules, rational choice institutionalism claims that we have the capacity to shape political behavior. Alternative cultural modernization theories differ in their emphasis on the primary motors driving human behavior, their expectations about the pace of change, and also their assumptions about the ability of formal institutional rules to alter, rather than adapt to, deeply embedded and habitual social norms and patterns of human behavior.
