In \u003ci\u003eBankrupt Representation and Party System Collapse\u003c\/i\u003e, Jana Morgan analyzes the causes of such collapse. She does so through a detailed examination of Venezuela's traumatic party system decay as well as comparative analysis of seven other countries. Collapse occurs when the party system as a whole is unable to provide adequate linkage between society and the state, failing to furnish programmatic representation, integration of major societal interests, or clientelist exchanges. Linkage decays when party systems face challenges that jeopardize their core strategies at the same time that they are constrained in their ability to adapt and to confront these threats. If this decay is unchecked and linkage of all sorts fails, then the bankrupt party system collapses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jana Morgan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0271050632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780271050638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penn State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.85d","brand":"Jana Morgan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46906550092031,"sku":"9780271050638","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b4cf13a2-7cee-4d5b-bc5d-5755d139fffc.jpg?v=1748770755","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bankrupt-representation-and-party-system-jana-morgan-9780271050638","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
