In Bankrupt Representation and Party System Collapse, Jana Morgan analyzes the causes of such collapse. She does so through a detailed examination of Venezuela’s traumatic party system decay as well as comparative analysis of seven other countries. Collapse occurs when the party system as a whole is unable to provide adequate linkage between society and the state, failing to furnish programmatic representation, integration of major societal interests, or clientelist exchanges. Linkage decays when party systems face challenges that jeopardize their core strategies at the same time that they are constrained in their ability to adapt and to confront these threats. If this decay is unchecked and linkage of all sorts fails, then the bankrupt party system collapses.Political partiesCase studiesPolitical partiesVenezuelaRepresentative government and representationCase studiesVenezuelaPolitics and government1974-1999Political partiesPolitical partiesRepresentative government and representation324.2Morgan Jana1977-1534144MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798074403321Bankrupt representation and party system collapse3781443UNINA
