Yet central as they are, parties have proved unable to meet their core tasks: building resonant programs, organizing actors into ordered conflict, policing boundaries, and linking the governed with the government. To understand how we came to the dysfunctional system we see today, we look back at how the parties formed and when and why they started to fail. In this major new book in American political development, the authors offer a full historical account of modern party politics, beginning with the rise of mass parties in the Jacksonian era through the post-Obama Democrats and the post-Trump Republicans. They show dynamic changes in parties over time, identifying six recurrent approaches that parties have taken-accommodationist, anti-party, pro-capital, policy-reform, radical, and populist-and focus on how successive actors melded inherited forms together with novel approaches to construct new projects for power. They date the emergence of our hollow-party era to the demise of the "New Deal order" by the late 1970s. While acknowledging changes in both parties, the authors emphasize the decisive role of the right in bringing it about. With deep historical grounding and extensive original research, the authors argue that it was the Republican Party that broke American politics"-- |cProvided by publisher. 520 "A major history of America' political parties from the country's Founding to our embittered presentAmerica's political parties are hollow shells of what they could be, locked in a polarized struggle for power and unrooted as civic organizations. The Hollow Parties takes readers from the rise of mass party politics in the Jacksonian era through the years of Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Today's parties, at once overbearing and ineffectual, have emerged from the interplay of multiple party traditions that reach back to the Founding.Daniel Schlozman and Sam Rosenfeld paint unforgettable portraits of figures such as Martin Van Buren, whose pioneering Democrats invented the machinery of the mass political party, and Abraham Lincoln and other heroic Republicans of that party's first generation who stood up to the Slave Power. And they show how today's fractious party politics arose from the ashes of the New Deal order in the 1970s. Activists in the wake of the 1968 Democratic National Convention transformed presidential nominations but failed to lay the foundations for robust movement-driven parties. Instead, modern American conservatism hollowed out the party system, deeming it a mere instrument for power.Party hollowness lies at the heart of our democratic discontents. With historical sweep and political acuity, The Hollow Parties offers powerful answers to pressing questions about how the nation's parties became so dysfunctional-and how they might yet realize their promise"-- |cProvided by publisher. 610 20 Democratic Party (U.S.) 610 20 Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- ) 650 0 Political parties |zUnited States |xHistory. 650 0 Right and left (Political science) |zUnited States. 650 0 Political culture |zUnited States. 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / American Government / General |2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / History & Theory |2bisacsh 700 1 Rosenfeld, Sam |c(Political scientist) |eauthor. 776 08 |iOnline version:Schlozman, Daniel. |tHollow parties |dPrinceton : Princeton University Press, 2024 |z9780691248639 |w(DLC) 2023034316 852 |bf 910 |d67548 |gMIDWEST 914 (OCoLC)on1393523615 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240717 |eprocessed |f1393523615 980 20240522 |f5316835 |hA0401mon |i35.00 |j37.22 |n7487091 982 |bFY21 |cGen |n2021 |q32101112765936 986 |hJK2261 |i.S3558 2024
