Cambridge University Press Movements and Parties
Book SynopsisHow do social movements intersect with the agendas of mainstream political parties? When they are integrated with parties, are they coopted? Or are they more radically transformative? Examining major episodes of contention in American politics from the Civil War era to the women''s rights and civil rights movements to the Tea Party and Trumpism today Sidney Tarrow tackles these questions and provides a new account of how the interactions between movements and parties have been transformed over the course of American history. He shows that the relationships between movements and parties have been central to American democratization at times expanding it and at times threatening its future. Today, movement politics have become more widespread as the parties have become weaker. The future of American democracy hangs in the balance.Trade Review'In this trailblazing synthesis, one of the great scholars of 'contentious politics' sweeps across American history to unpack the complex interactions of political movements and political parties. Tarrow uncovers relationships that are highly variable, always fraught, and quite likely to determine the future course of American democracy. His assessment of how these engagements have changed over time offers a powerful, sobering commentary on the current critical juncture in American political development.' Stephen Skowronek, Yale University, Connecticut'Parties and voters connected by a verb: engage, mobilize, turn out, suppress. In the place of this conventional approach to electoral politics, Sid Tarrow provides a sweeping historical account of how social movements have challenged and disrupted the American party system. Organized outside the party system, citizens and activists demand change, organize voters, and displace established strategies with innovative practices. Tarrow makes a compelling case for the consequential contentiousness of institutional politics. Elisabeth S. Clemens, University of Chicago'The shocking invasion of the capital last January 6th exposed the combustible confluence of movements and parties that currently disrupts politics in the United States. Movements and Parties, written by the foremost scholar of social movements, makes clear that the insurrection to overturn the 2020 presidential election, extraordinary as it was, drew on political forces that have long disrupted the nation. Masterfully integrating sophisticated theoretical insights and rich historical narrative, Sidney Tarrow illuminates the critical but under examined relationship between social activism and institutions – weaving a fascinating tale of insurgents and party leaders animating foundational struggles over American identity from the formative alliance between Republicans and abolitionists of the 1850s to the incursion of a 'social movement society' on contemporary party politics. A must read for anyone who wants to understand the role of movements and parties in the challenges that await American democracy.' Sidney M.

Cambridge University Press Where the Party Rules
Book SynopsisIn most non-democratic countries, today governing forty-four percent of the world population, the power of the regime rests upon a ruling party. Contrasting with conventional notions that authoritarian regime parties serve to contain elite conflict and manipulate electoral-legislative processes, this book presents the case of China and shows that rank and-file members of the Communist Party allow the state to penetrate local communities. Subnational comparative analysis demonstrates that in ''red areas'' with high party saturation, the state is most effectively enforcing policy and collecting taxes. Because party membership patterns are extremely enduring,they must be explained by events prior to the Communist takeover in 1949. Frontlines during the anti-colonial Sino-Japanese War (19371945) continue to shape China''s political map even today. Newly available evidence from the Great Leap Forward (19581961) and the Cultural Revolution (19661976) shows how a strong local party basis sustTrade Review'… [A]n important contribution to the study of the functioning of the CCP and of authoritarian parties …' Carolin Kautz, ASIENTable of ContentsPart I.

The University of Chicago Press Logic of Delegation American Politics and
Book SynopsisWhy do majority congressional parties seem unable to act as an effective policy-making force? They routinely delegate their power to othersinternally to standing committees and subcommittees within each chamber, externally to the president and to the bureaucracy. Conventional wisdom in political science insists that such delegation leads inevitably to abdicationusually by degrees, sometimes precipitously, but always completely. In The Logic of Delegation, however, D. Roderick Kiewiet and Mathew D. McCubbins persuasively argue that political scientists have paid far too much attention to what congressional parties can't do. The authors draw on economic and management theory to demonstrate that the effectiveness of delegation is determined not by how much authority is delegated but rather by how well it is delegated. In the context of the appropriations process, the authors show how congressional parties employ committees, subcommittees, and executive agencies to accomplish policy goals.

The University of Chicago Press Parties Leaders in the Postreform House American
Book SynopsisSince the Second World War, congressional parties have been characterized as declining in strength and influence. Research has generally attributed this decline to policy conflicts within parties, to growing electoral independence of members, and to the impact of the congressional reforms of the 1970s. Yet the 1980s witnessed a strong resurgence of parties and party leadershipespecially in the House of Representatives. Offering a concise and compelling explanation of the causes of this resurgence, David W. Rohde argues that a realignment of electoral forces led to a reduction of sectional divisions within the partiesparticularly between the northern and southern Democratsand to increased divergence between the parties on many important issues. He challenges previous findings by asserting that congressional reform contributed to, rather than restrained, the increase of partisanship. Among the Democrats, reforms siphoned power away from conservative and autocratic committee chairs and pu

Book SynopsisWith the need for ever increasing sums of money to fuel the ongoing campaign for majority control, both Republicans and Democrats have made large donations to the party and its candidates mandatory for members seeking advancement within party and congressional committee hierarchies.
