Reforming the Reforms
註釋Analyzes reforms in the Presidential selection process since the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Examines the recent changes in delegate selection, nature of candidates, campaign strategies, the influence of interest groups and the media, the role of party leaders, campaign financing and the extent and quality of participation. Ceaser sees the reforms as a move away from a representative process to one based on direct democracy and calls on institutional theory to assess their impact in altering basic institutions and patterns of political behavior.
