- Summary:
-
"This book addresses the question of why a party system with a modest number of nationally oriented political parties emerges in some democracies but not others. A key contribution of this book is the development and testing of a theory of aggregation incentives that focuses on the payoff to being a large party and the probability of capturing that payoff. The book relies on in-depth case studies of Thailand and the Philippines, and on large-N analysis to establish its arguments."--BOOK JACKET.
