Routledge Handbook of Primary Elections
Sinopsis
Primary elections have been used for the past
century for most U.S. elective offices and
their popularity is growing in other nations as
well. In some circumstances, primaries ensure
that citizens have a say in elections and test
the skills of candidates before they get to the
general election. Yet primaries are often
criticized for increasing the cost of elections,
for producing ideologically extreme candidates,
and for denying voters the opportunity to choose
candidates whose appeal transcends partisanship.
Few such arguments have, however, been
rigorously tested. This innovative Handbook
evaluates many of the claims, positive and
negative, that have been made about primaries. It
is organized into six sections, covering the
origins of primary elections primary voters US
presidential primaries US subpresidential
primaries primaries in other parts of the world
and reform proposals. The Routledge Handbook of
Primary Elections is an important research tool
for scholars, a resource guide for students, and
a source of ideas for those who seek to modify
the electoral process.
