| Description: |
Using data gathered from local party officials in the 11 southern states, contributors to this work argue that grassroots political groups have revitalized the political process in America. Recruitment, ideology, factionalism and the effect on the political system are among the issues addressed. |
| Synopsis: |
Much of the recent scholarship about American political parties has attempted to assess the condition of the party system. Are parties becoming increasingly obsolete? Have they forfeited the functions they traditionally performed? Or have they adopted a different role in the political system such that their achievements have gone unrecognized? In short, are American political parties in decline, resurgence, or what? Using information gathered from local party officials in the eleven southern states, the authors examine such key data as who becomes involved in local party organizations and why; how parties recruit and retain workers; what ideological and issue orientations motivate these activists; how intraparty factionalism affects local party organizations; and what connection exists between the party organization and its external environment. |
