This book examines the present and future of televised election debates, from the Nixon/Kennedy presidential debate of 1960 to the age of digital interactive multimedia. Stephen Coleman discusses the role of televised debate in a democratic culture; Kathleen Hall Jamieson and Christopher Adasiewicz examine its effects; Ian Ward and Mary Walsh consider the Australian leaders' debates within the context of the presidentialization of Australian politics; Shoshana Blum-Kulka and Tamar Liebes provide detailed content analysis of the Netanyahu/Peres televised debate and consider its pivotal role in the election for the Israeli premiership; Austin Mitchell asks why Britain has never had a televised debate between the party leaders; Richard Holme considers the case of third parties' participation in televised debates; Arnold Amber explains how he produced the Canadian debates; Helen Clark gives an account of her participation in the New Zealand leaders' debates; Diana Carlin examines debate-watching; and Julie Hall looks to the future of televised debate in a more strongly democratic society.
