The State of the Parties 2022 brings together leading scholars of parties, elections, and interest groups to provide an indispensable overview of American political parties today. The 2020 presidential election was extraordinary. What role did political parties play in these events? How did the party organizations fare? What are the implications for the future? Scholars and practitioners from throughout the United States explore the current state of American party organizations, constituencies and resources at the national, state and local level.
This iteration of State of the Parties lives up to the legacy of the previous works in the series, most recently State of the Parties 2018 (CH, Feb'19, 56-2560). Offering a balanced mix of work by veteran and emerging scholars, this essay collection recalls the recent history of the two major parties in American politics and then drills down into what makes them the parties that they are. These scholars contextualize the current status of political parties—their structure, their makeup, and their activity—in the turmoil of hyperpartisanship and polarization. The various scholars play to their strengths in terms of both subject matter and methodology. State of the Parties 2022 paints an easily understood, yet detailed and multifaceted picture of the current shape of American politics. The anthology would make a great supplemental text for classes on American political parties; it is sophisticated enough for graduate courses and understandable enough for undergraduates. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty; professionals. * Choice Reviews *
