This book argues that this fixation on static ideal types is a theoretical dead end, as it obscures the messy, non-linear reality of how parties actually change.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving beyond the \"teleological trap\" of evolutionary models, this book proposes a new dynamic framework to trace party transformation across 11 European democracies over the last half-century. It reveals that parties are not converging into a new stable form, but are suffering a shared process of decay: disintermediation. The traditional bridge between leaders and society has collapsed, leaving behind a \"void\" filled by consultants and state funds. This book offers a vital roadmap for understanding this crisis, showing that the era of party models is over, and the age of disintermediation has begun.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-05-22\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032211958\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-032-21196-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 143\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266739130508,"sku":"9783032211958","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032211958.jpg?v=1779973232","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783032211958","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
