Viac o knihe

The book examines the evolution of voting behavior from regional disparities to national homogeneity over the past century and a half. By analyzing constituency-specific data, Caramani illustrates how national and industrial revolutions fostered a uniform political landscape, supplanting preindustrial territorial influences. The study is organized around party families, providing insights into the varying degrees of electoral homogeneity observed in different countries today.
