The book does so at the level of principles: there is a major conflict between governments, which should govern, and parties, which being representative, wish to shape the way governments operate. The book studies relationships empirically as well: it shows that they occur on three planes, appointments, policy-making and patronage and assesses the extent of two-way influence, from parties to governments and from governments to parties.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45282664546455,"sku":"9780333681992","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780333681992.webp?v=1769302811","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-nature-of-party-government-a-comparative-european-perspective-9780333681992","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
