Description
SECOND HAND BOOK – EX LIBRARY
In the years since World War II voting patterns in Australia, as in other Western democracies, have been undergoing gradual but significant changes. Evidence from socio-political surveys and electoral data indicate that fundamental shifts are occurring in the major political cleavages of class, religion, and region, and the political parties can no longer rely on their traditional bases of support in the electorate.
Society and Electoral Behaviour in Australia presents a dynamic picture of social and political change over a period of some thirty years. It uses Australia as an important case study for evaluating a number of theories of socio-political change in advanced industrial societies, and conclusions reached have important implications for the future of Australian politics.
David Kemp is senior lecturer in political science at the University of Melbourne. In 1975-76 he was senior adviser to Malcolm Fraser when Leader of the Opposition and Prime Minister. He has contributed chapters to several political symposia, including Labor to Power and Australian Politics: A Fourth Reader, edited by Henry Mayer, and The Future of Political Parties, edited by L. Maisel and P. Sacks.
