Publisher's Synopsis
Addressing important questions about economics and politics in advanced industrial democracies, this volume focuses on the debates surrounding models of party support, formation of economic attitudes and political manipulation of the macroeconomy. The authors incorporate these contextual factors in a new comparative framework that offers fresh interpretations of political-economic relationships. By systematically exploring differences in social structures, party systems and regime characteristics in Canada, Great Britain and the United States, the authors cast light on the operation of party politics in contemporary Anglo-American democracies.
