Recenzii

"Invisible Hands challenges the conventional wisdom regarding the effects that the nomination season has on a party's chances in the fall campaign in presidential elections. Dowdle and his colleagues combine a fresh approach, a wealth of unique data and sophisticated analysis to show that contested primaries may actually benefit the party and its candidate in the general election. This book is well written, and is a must read for any serious student of presidential campaigns and elections, political parties, and campaign finance." - Jody Baumgartner, Associate Professor, East Carolina University, USA
"The authors of this volume look to make a major contribution to our understanding of the potential impact of presidential nomination campaigns - mainly why it is that current measures of divisive primaries fail to predict the performance of the party's candidate in the general election. They address this puzzle in their book and they do so in a well-written, methodical, and creative manner. A solid piece of research for political scientists as well as students of politics." - Audrey Haynes, Associate Professor, University of Georgia, USA
