The growing prevalence and influence of paid consultants in the United States and other democracies is one of the most important factors changing the nature of electoral politics. Campaign Warriors thoroughly examines this critical--and controversial--development and its impact on the political system in the U.S. and other countries. The contributors approach the topic from several different perspectives, including the increasing use of "spin doctors" and the resulting loss of influence of state and national political parties. The book investigates the role of these paid advisers: who they are, what they do and why, and how they feel about their work. The contributors discuss the consultant's relationship with candidates and parties, and analyze the effect of their efforts on election outcome. 606 $aCampaign management$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical campaigns$zUnited States 606 $aPolitical consultants$zUnited States 606 $aCampaign management 606 $aPolitical campaigns 606 $aPolitical consultants 615 0$aCampaign management 615 0$aPolitical campaigns 615 0$aPolitical consultants 615 0$aCampaign management. 615 0$aPolitical campaigns. 615 0$aPolitical consultants. 676 $a324.7/0973 701 $aThurber$b James A.$f1943-$01152968 701 $aNelson$b Candice J.$f1949-$0917368 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807331503321 996 $aCampaign warriors$93991591 997 $aUNINA
