Description
Cooperating Factions provides an innovative network analysis of the complex relationships between party divisions in U.S. presidential nomination contests. Authors Rachel M. Blum and Hans C. Noel examine how different factions within political parties interact, cooperate, and compete to influence the selection of presidential candidates.
The book explores the structural dynamics of party politics, revealing how various ideological, regional, and demographic groups form networks and coalitions. By analyzing these interconnected relationships, the authors demonstrate how faction cooperation shapes nomination outcomes and influences party strategy. This work contributes significantly to understanding internal party politics and the mechanisms through which candidates gain support.
Part of Cambridge University Press’s Elements in American Politics series, this element offers scholars and students a sophisticated framework for understanding party organizational behavior and the forces that drive presidential selection processes in contemporary American democracy.
