What happened in the 1980 elections, how it happened, and why it happened are explained in detail by the 11 authors in this volume. They trace the key influences from the Carter administration, through the caucuses and primaries, the party conventions, and the campaign, to the elections themselves and consider the implications for public policy under the Reagan administration. The political parties are examined in detail, together with the candidates, the issues, the mass media, and above all the electoral system, which is compared with methods used by other democracies. The authors also cover the consequences of changes in selecting delegates and assess the future of the system.
This volume is the first in a series on the national elections in the United States to be edited by Austin Ranney, who contributed the first chapter. The nine other chapters are by Nelson W. Polsby, Charles O. Jones, Michael J. Malbin, Albert R. Hunt, Michael J. Robinson, William Schneider, Thomas E. Mann and Norman J. Ornstein, Anthony King, and Aaron Wildavsky.
Austin Ranney, general editor of the series, is a former president of the American Political Science Association and a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. |
