| Summary: | The Government Party is an exploration of five of the democratic world's most successful political parties that dominated the politics and governments of Canada, Ireland, India, Japan, and Italy for many decades of the twentieth century. Drawing on an analysis of their structure and organization, the book identifies a distinctive type and form of party - the "Government Party" - whose success is tightly bound up with the political regimes they are created to serve. The analysis reveals the competitive dynamics of the party systems these parties dominate, the very different patterns of leadership that they provide, and the forces that contribute to their long-term persistence or decline. It offers a major interpretation of the distinctive character of electoral democracy when one party becomes a country's natural party of government. |
