In the wake of Ross Perot, Ralph Nader, and other 'third' party and independent candidates that ran in the 1996 election, this collection of original essays by leading political scientists and third party officials is must reading for individuals interested in American politics. Multiparty Politics in America examines the roles that third parties have played in U.S. elections past and present and their prospects for the future. It presents unique and detailed coverage of the Reform, Green, and Libertarian parties' goals and campaign strategies; discusses the kinds of reforms that would help them become more viable; and advances the debate over whether the U.S. should have a two-party or multiparty system.

The authors in Multiparty Politics in America do more than simply report the phenomenon of increased interest in a multiparty system. They identify the critical factors and kaleidoscopic changes that are in play which, I believe, produce the real possibility of a new party structure for a new century. -- John Anderson, Independent candidate for President, 1980 Whether you are in favor of multiparty politics or support the present two-party duopoly or are civically curious about thoughts, trends, and practices shaking up the current political party status quo, this book is your kind of menu. Multiparty Politics in America is a collection of scholarly, critical, and pragmatic viewpoints on all sides of this emerging grand debate in our country. Editors Paul S. Herrnson and John C. Green deserve kudos for preparing such an up-to-date and digestible cuisine. -- Ralph Nader, Green Party Candidate for President, 1996 and 2000
