Linking Citizens and Parties addresses familiar questions about political representation: Are parties responsive to their core supporters or to the public in general? Do parties that adopt centrist policy positions benefit in elections? Does proportional representation encourage party extremism? These fundamental questions about democracy are paired with the empirical observation of Western European democracies during the last thirty years. The study highlights the pathways (mainstream and niche) through which citizens' political preferences are expressed by their political parties. It concludes with a positive evaluation of these democracies as their citizens have access to at least one, and possibly both niche and mainstream pathways.

More than fifty years have passed since the American Political Science Association published "Toward a More Responsible Two-Party System," a controversial report that addressed the lack of national cohesion within the major parties. Although parties have changed a great deal since then, they remain a critical component of American democracy. While the possibilities and limits of responsible party government have been central topics in the literature since 1950, this book is the first to reassess all aspects of the APSA report. Here a distinguished group of scholars—among them Charles O. Jones, Barbara Sinclair, Frank J. Sorauf, John Bibby, and Gerald Pomper—examine the effectiveness, accountability, and relevance of parties to the democratic process. These articles cover all major relevant topics, focusing on recent changes in laws that govern parties, innovations in party organization, party finance, and the relationships among political consultants and parties. They examine the place of the party in government-including chapters on the changing role of parties in Congress and in the presidency-and also consider the roles of parties among the electorate, examining trends in voting behavior, party identification, and ideology. A capstone essay by Leon Epstein, the dean of American party scholars, reviews the ongoing quest for responsible partisanship over the past half century. These contributors offer a mixed assessment of the two-party system, showing that parties are in many respects stronger at the national level than they were in 1950 but not necessarily more responsible. The most comprehensive description and analysis of American parties now available, Responsible Partisanship? should become required reading for all students and citizens concerned with making parties more accountable instruments of government.

My dissertation examines how and why political parties and ultimately party systems become programmatic. I develop a model that shows how the combination of relatively low party-system fragmentation and low electoral volatility, along with high legislative capabilities, creates incentives for legislative parties to specialize consistently in relatively more policy areas in the legislature (to obtain ownership of these issues). Under these circumstances, political parties participate in legislative activities (e.g., bill initiation) to more actively signal constituencies and potential supporters about their policy preferences and achieve ownership of policy issues with the goal of enhancing electoral support in future elections. Greater specialization contributes to the development of knowledge about party programmatic (policy) strengths and helps to reinforce the linkages between political parties and their supporters. To test this theory, my dissertation examines a variety of data, including several years of bill initiation and surveys. From this analysis, I conclude that in addition to the well-known functions attributed to legislative parties for solving social choice and collective action problems, legislative parties can also help to solve two other social problems informational (imperfect information) and credibility problems that can enhance accountability and political representation in a polity. As they specialize more, parties can help solve these social problems more effectively.

How did 'liberal' become a dirty word in American politics? How did 'compassionate conservative' become a viable campaign theme? When did the 'independent voter' become the most sought-after prize in modern campaigns? And why haven't 'third-party candidates' enjoyed similar acclaim? The Talk of the Party listens to how the language of partisanship_including words like Democrat, Republican, party, liberal, conservative, and independent_has been used over the past fifty years and how it has created or limited political opportunities. Listening to the talk of the party can teach valuable lessons about campaigns, opportunities for public life, and the future of these American institutions.
