Party strategies in Western Europe party competition and electoral outcomes

This book examines political party system change from a party-centric perspective and assesses how, and to what extent, established political parties in western Europe can maintain their dominant positions.

It features analysis of seventeen western European countries, with eight case-studies explored in greater depth, including; France, Germany, Portuga.
