Rezensionen

This outstanding volume reminds us that the presidential primary elections of 2008 were watershed events for those who study race, gender, campaign tactics, voter participation, campaign spending, or the institutions that influence election outcomes. The unexpected twists and turns of 2008 left many theories in tatters, and this volume maps out the research agenda as leading scholars of primary campaigns look to the future. -- Donald Green, Yale University The American presidential nominating process has changed dramatically in the past four decades, but since 1972 no changes have been as dramatic as those in 2007 and 2008. Jack Citrin and David Karol have assembled an outstanding group of scholars to discuss these changes. This collection is essential for Americans interested in election campaigns, presidential politics, or political parties. The essays are timely, clear, and accessible. -- Paul R. Abramson, Michigan State University
