Autor Stephen J. Wayne
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 mar 2024
This new edition examines the theory, structure, and the contemporary electoral process, analyzing how the system has evolved, how it is working today, and its challenges for the future. Stephen J. Wayne illuminates the democratic strength and weaknesses of the American electoral system and asks, "Is this any way to run a democratic election?"
Updated to included insight into the contentious 2020 and 2022 elections, the chapters look ahead to the 2024 election with detailed analysis of the impact of money, media, partisanship, misinformation, changes in electoral laws, public trust and election denial on the electorate, political parties, and the candidates for office. Each chapter opens with “Did You Know” teasers and concludes with a critical thinking section that includes Discussion Questions, Topics for Debate, Research Oriented Exercises, and Internet Resources and Selected Readings--providing a wide array of tools with which to explore alternatives to the status quo. Comparative examples from other countries are included to provide readers with a broader perspective on the issues democracies face around the world.
Tackling the big questions about American politics, this is an accessible read for undergraduate students in courses on Electoral Politics, Political Parties, Campaigns and Voting and American Democracy.

Recenzii

Praise for the Seventh Edition:
My students have enjoyed reading Is This Any Way to Run a Democratic Election? for over a decade. It has consistently illuminated the major issues with our electoral process. The addition of a comparative perspective in this edition has made this book even more useful to me. —Martin P. Wattenberg, University of California, Irvine
Praise for Is This Any Way to Run a Democratic Election?:
If you aren't lucky enough to be enrolled in one of Prof. Wayne's classes, this smart, accessible book is the next best option. It allows readers to explore what works and what doesn't—and helps them to analyze for themselves how and why. —Rebecca Sinderbrand, Yale University; The Washington Post
Do democratic elections accomplish in practice what they promise in theory? This fresh edition of Wayne’s seminal book looks back at the 2015–2016 election cycle and reminds readers that many of the contributing factors to Donald Trump's success are features of the American election process rather than exceptions to it. —Lauren A. Wright, Princeton University; Author of On Behalf of the President
In a time of rampant questions about domestic elections and "fake news," this edition of Stephen J. Wayne's book is both timely and relevant. The questions he raises about the integrity of our state election systems and the impact and role of social media, money, the nomination process, and political parties in our election processes are urgent today. Highly recommended. —John Kenneth White, Catholic University of America; Author of What Happened to the Republican Party?
A comprehensive study of every component of the American electoral process… and essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand how American elections inform politics and policy making. By addressing key issues in the 2016 elections, from social media to voter ID laws, Wayne grounds contemporary electoral questions in enduring debates about American democratic governance. —Meena Bose, Hofstra University; Director, Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency
Wayne tackles many of the great questions of American politics—voter turnout, representation, the roles of media and money, parties, nominations, campaigns, and government responsiveness—with an engaging, accessible, and informed discussion that will prove useful in a variety of undergraduate courses. —George C. Edwards III, Texas A&M University
Timely, insightful, and comprehensive, this book is a must-read for students, scholars, and instructors: Wayne provides a clear analytical framework for understanding the American system and thought-provoking ideas about elections past and future. —Margaret Tseng, Marymount University
