New players in an old game: party strategy in multiparty systems

In: Comparative political studies: CPS, Band 24, Heft Jul 91

Abstract

The experience of political parties in Norway from 1969 to 1985 and the Swedish system from 1979 to 1982 is used to test proximity and directional theory models of party competition. Directional theory has clear implications for the kind of system that ought to exist in multiparty democracies--of'moderate pluralism.' (SJK)
