Reviews

No volume does a better job of bringing together contributions from such a wide range of leading scholars of American political parties. In this era of increasing partisan polarization, the study of political parties is more relevant than ever. Students and scholars alike will benefit from a careful reading of the research presented here. - Laura R. Olson, Clemson University I am thrilled that Brewer and Maisel have put together a new edition of The Parties Respond. Students still come to college thinking that parties are weak and meaningless, even though they are stronger now than they have been in 100 years. In bringing together the best people to offer essays on the most up to date controversies, Brewer and Maisel have assembled their best edition yet. - Marc J. Hetherington, Vanderbilt University Each reading in this remarkable book is filled with insight and information, as exemplified by 'Boehner's Dilemma'--a penetrating analysis at the electoral and governing consequences of the Tea Party's influence on the GOP. The Parties Respond is a 'must read' for courses on political parties and campaigns/elections. -Thomas E. Patterson, Harvard University Praise for Previous Editions: This latest edition of a well-established and wide-ranging collection of essays about political parties raises the question of what is old and what is new. The book is so comprehensive that it could be used as the basis for a course in American political parties. Once again Maisel has provided a valuable service by bringing together a solid and well-written collection. Highly recommended. -- Choice The Parties Respond is an excellent collection of works that are both analytically insightful and accessible to an undergraduate audience. Examining the American two-party system from numerous angles, this book illuminates the complexities of our particular brand of democracy. The new edition includes chapters on two important developments, the 2000 election
