History of American political parties from the end of George Washington's term to today.

While the type of small political party In Ireland has varied, their fate, it seems, has not. Although some enjoy a brief time in the sun, termination is the long-term prospects for all minor parties.

This book examines this pattern of evolution for minor, or small, parties in Irish politics. As the Irish state...

Si el populismo no ha muerto, si está "insoportablemente vivo", es porque funciona. Y su eficacia se debe, en buena medida, a que ofrece una forma convincente de explicar el mundo, reflejar las preocupaciones y los miedos de los ciudadanos y proponerles una salida concreta.

The majority of people in the UK still identify as working class, yet no political party today can confidently articulate their interests. So who is now working class and how do political parties gain their support? Based on the opinions and voices of lower and middle...

Volveremos, en los años setenta. Vamo a volvé, en 2019. ¿En qué consiste el Medioevo Peronista? ¿Por qué se produce su eterno-retorno? ¿Es cierto que nuestros días más felices siempre fueron peronistas? ¿Será que el peronismo es un intérprete legítimo de las aspiraciones de democracia y justicia social argentinas? ¿O será que las promesas enunciadas por la Leyenda Peronista y su hijo, el Relato Kirchnerista, son más importantes a la...
