"The book is without any doubt a must-read for all party scholars.
De Vries and Hobolt demonstrate that by focusing too much on the
peculiarity of our times and trying to understand the novelty of a
phenomenon we sometimes overlook that some patterns remain the
same."---Sarah Engler, Party Politics
"A smart and accessible book which relies on a wealth of empirical
evidence to make its case — and it shines bright as an example of
great academic writing, because it does so with a clarity that
looks effortless but is so hard to attain."---Felix Simon,
Medium
"Covering and utilising an impressive bibliography in their
research, they [De Vries and Hobolt] offer readers an innovative
approach to the theory of political parties. Attempting to capture
a broad audience while simultaneously attracting political experts,
political scientists and entrepreneurs, the book offers us a timely
approach to the way our politics are constructed. Moreover, it
suggests that our world has to be seen as a more complex field.
With Political Entrepreneurs, De Vries and Hobolt have successfully
refreshed the literature on political parties, making the field
more appealing to new researchers"---George Kordas, LSE Review of
Books
"Catherine de Vries and Sara Hobolt are arguably among the most
influential scholars working on party competition in Europe. . . .
Their book presents an exceptional contribution to research on
European party competition that will unquestionably be a focal
point of reference for any future research in this field."---Julia
Schulte-Cloos, Acta Politica
