Reviews
'This book offers useful observations about why many parties in parliamentary democracies have been adopting or expanding their use of primaries, and about why and how this change may matter. Several chapters helpfully explore differences between primaries for selecting legislative candidates and those for selecting party leaders.' Susan Scarrow, University of Houston, USA 'This book represents a valuable attempt to think through the concept of the primary election, and to analyse the empirical reasons for, and the consequences of, its adoption by political parties. Given the spread of primaries to parties beyond the USA specifically and presidential systems more generally, this book is a timely and very useful addition to the comparative literature on party politics.' Paul Webb, University of Sussex, UK
