Hopkins[electronic resource]New York, NY :Oxford University Press,2016.1 online resource illustrations (black and white)Previously issued in print: 2016.0-19-062659-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.The Democratic Party is a coalition of social groups that act as discrete voting blocs for candidates, constituencies for group leaders, and demanders of particular policy commitments. Since the 1960s, the evolution in the relative internal influence of Democratic Party constituencies has reduced the size of the party's conservative wing and expanded its policy agenda - but no organized liberal movement has emerged to dominate its internal organization or succeed in shifting its policies toward leftist positions. The Republican Party, in contrast, serves as the vehicle of a conservative ideological movement that has succeeded in fusing its intellectual strands, marketing its broad critiques of government, building a supportive organizational network, and moving the party toward the policy commitments of its right wing.Party affiliationUnited StatesPolitical cultureUnited StatesParty affiliationPolitical culture324.273Grossmann Matthew1158078Hopkins David A.StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910154299903321Asymmetric politics2878258UNINA
