0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract JACK SNYDER reviews Barbara Walter’s How Civil Wars Start and How to Stop Them. Walter argues that modern civil wars take the form of guerrilla warfare and organized terrorism. They are started mainly by declining ethnic groups in polarized partial democracies. Her contention that the contemporary United States is heading in this direction has a surface plausibility, but requires strong qualifications.

Polarized American Electorate: the Rise of Partisan-Ideological Consistency and Its Consequences / Abramowitz, Alan I   Journal Article
Abramowitz, Alan I Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract ALAN I. ABRAMOWITZ presents evidence from American National Election Studies surveys showing that party identification, ideological identification and issue positions have become much more closely connected over the past half century. He argues that as a result, the ideological divide between Democratic and Republican identifiers has widened considerably. The rise of partisan-ideological consistency has contributed to growing affective polarization as well as increasing party loyalty and straight ticket voting.
