1. The Theory of One-Party Dominance -- 2. Why Does One-Party Dominance End in Factionalism -- 3. Majoritarian Democracies: Executive-Dominated Britain and Decentralised Canada -- 4. Case 1 - The Thatcher-Major Factional Wars Over Europe -- 5. Case 2 - The Demise of Canadian Liberal Hegemony -- 6. Non-Majoritarian Democracies: Centrifugal Italy and Consensual Japan -- 7. Case 3 - Italy's Christian Democrats: How Factional Capture Bred Self-Destruction -- 8. Case 4 - The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (1955-2009): End of Hegemony -- Conclusion: How Parties Succeed of Fail to Manage Factionalism and Stay in Power.

Factionalism and internal division is a cross that virtually all dominant political parties operating in representative democracies have to bear. In this book, Dr Boucek seeks to explain how this inherent factionalism that has caused the downfall of many political leaders can also prolong office tenure by containing conflict and preventing the exit of party dissidents. By surveying the British Conservative Party, the Liberal Party of Canada, the Christian Democratic Party of Italy and the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, Dr Boucek explores this paradox and the potential dangers factional politics can create for dominant political parties through bad governance, brand devaluation and the failure to manage internal conflict. Factional Politics is essential reading for students and scholars of political parties and party systems, parliaments and democracy as well as intra-party politics.

520 $a "Drawing on theories of neo-institutionalism to show how institutions shape dissident behavior, Boucek develops new ways of measuring factionalism and explains its effects on office tenure. In each of the four cases - from Britain, Canada, Italy and Japan - intra-party dynamics are analyzed through times series and rational choice tools"-- $c Provided by publisher.
