{"product_id":"the-nature-of-party-government-jean-blondel-9780333681992","title":"The Nature of Party Government: A Comparative European Perspective","description":"The Nature of Party Government examines relationships between governments and supporting parties on a comparative European basis. The book does so at the level of principles: there is a major conflict between governments, which should govern, and parties, which being representative, wish to shape the way governments operate. The book studies relationships empirically as well: it shows that they occur on three planes, appointments, policy-making and patronage and assesses the extent of two-way influence, from parties to governments and from governments to parties.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jean Blondel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0333681991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780333681992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/08\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.78h x 5.84w x 0.98d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2001 pg. 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 959","brand":"Jean Blondel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47421398647039,"sku":"9780333681992","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1645d377-8619-4d29-b5ea-77df7ffd7995.jpg?v=1761526838","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-nature-of-party-government-jean-blondel-9780333681992","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
