Using text analysis, the results show that consensual dynamics can allow to preserve party unity and that directly elected leaders can exploit their larger autonomy either to reward followers or to prevent splits. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis text will be of key interest to scholars and students of Party Politics, Political Institutions, European Politics and more broadly to Comparative Politics, Political Theory and Text Analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Ceron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032178221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032178226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d","brand":"Andrea Ceron","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127884280063,"sku":"9781032178226","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c8221105-f4e4-4a62-8cfb-88d848f131ed.jpg?v=1687455785","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leaders-factions-and-the-game-andrea-ceron-9781032178226","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
