Encyclopedia of American Parties, Campaigns, and ElectionsBloomsbury Academic, 30. juli 1999 - 467 sider In this comprehensive guide to the language of contemporary American politics, Binning offers clear descriptions of terms such as soft money, gerrymandering, and blanket primary. Examples are frequently offered to help clarify definitions. Particular attention is given to the ever-changing organizational structure of parties and contemporary electoral systems.
