'The empirical findings open the door to fresh perspectives regarding the relationship between representatives and those represented the excellent literature review, compelling arguments and wealth of evidence make this book enjoyable and useful to scholars of party politics and legislative or voting behaviour.' Sergiu Gherghina, Political studies Review
' makes interesting and insightful contributions to the party literature... [The] theoretical and
empirical thoroughness helps to convince the reader that there is indeed an engaging question at the heart of Naurin's research. ' Michael Clark, Perspectives on Politics
'Elin Naurin's book Election Promises, party behavior and voter perceptions (Palgrave Macmillan 2011) shows how research on Swedish politics can enrich our overall understanding of thechallenges of representative democracy. Through a multidimensional and smart analysis Naurin develops our theoretical, methodological and empirical knowledge of the importance of election promises to the relationship between voters and political parties. An important part of the book is about how voters perceive election promises. It is shown that the general perception that politicians do not keep their promises play an important role in citizens' assessments. Citizens also take into consideration the outcomes of politics when assessing whether politicians and parties keep their election promises. This means that citizen perspectives are not primarily based on party programs and election material, instead citizens take into account external factors outside the parties' power when making their assessments. The book gives us important perspectives on the factors that challenge the credibility of politicians, parties and representative democracy. It helps journalists, politicians, voters and researchers to understand how the parties and politicians act in the Swedish representative democracy' - Swedish Political Science Association
