Reviews

'This book by Scott Morgenstern is an important landmark study that puts geography high on the research agenda of comparative political science. Three features make this book worthwhile reading for scholars working on the nationalization of elections and parties ... the book Are Politics Local? constitutes a benchmark that will serve as a necessary starting point for scholars who set out to further explore party nationalization.' Arjan H. Schakel, Political Science Quarterly
