Reviews

"This book provides a detailed and highly valuable account of the organizational processes that are driving these trends, but with important critical insights into improving the civic efficacy of political marketing." (European Journal of Communication, 1 February 2013)

"Maarek, Professor of Information and Communication Sciences at the Paris-East University, has authored various writings on political marketing, though this is perhaps his most comprehensive book on the subject to appear in English. . . This is an extensively well-researched and thorough book dealing with every level and stage of political campaigning." (The London School of Economics & Political Science, 7 August 2011)
