Book review: The new party challenge: changing cycles of party birth and death in central Europe and beyond by Tim Haughton and Kevin Deegan-Krause

In The New Party Challenge: Changing Cycles of Party Birth and Death in Central Europe and Beyond, Tim Haughton and Kevin Deegan-Krause present an in-depth look at how new parties emerge, fight and sometimes die out in the post-Communist democracies of the European Union. This is an excellent piece of empirical work, writes Ben Margulies, offering a valuable reminder of how political science can transcend simple explanations and study our world from different angles.
