Building Party Systems in Developing Democracies
Hicken, Allen (Professor, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)
This book addresses the question of why a party system with a modest number of nationally oriented political parties emerges in some democracies but not others. Analyzing the cases of Thailand and the Philippines, Hicken argues that aggregation incentives are a product of the payoff to being a large party and the probability if capturing that payoff.
