Reviews

This book is a very welcome contribution for scholars of party politics and comparative politics alike, and bears great theoretical and empirical significance.
*Mattia Zulianello, Istituto Italiano di Scienze Umane, Florence, Political Studies Review*

Exceptionally well written, the book combines a sound conceptualization, operationalization, and case selection with a rigorous methodological approach, complementing a large-N (140) quantitative analysis with a considerable number (37) of in-depth qualitative case studies...the book is clearly destined to become a classic, not just among academics but also practitioners.
