Beyond the Two Party System: Political Representation, Economic Competitiveness and Australian Politics (Reshaping Australian Institutions) - Hardcover
Synopsis
The demands placed on western governments have increased exponentially over the years, but the fundamental structure of most of these governments - the two party system - has not. Governments are not only required to be competitive in the global economy, but the societies they represent have changed, becoming culturally and ethnically diverse. Ian Marsh's challenging book suggests that the two party regime cannot accommodate these changing needs. It outlines the ways in which politics might change to meet these new demands and achieve genuine participatory democracy. The book explores the nature of citizenship from a historical perspective, proposing a definition of citizenship for the future. Ian Marsh argues that political learning will be central to the development of this new citizen, so that they, and not only the leadership elite, have genuine political input.

Review
"In many ways this is an admirable book in its scope and ambition....an interesting attempt to wrestle with an important topic....Even those readers that find the theoretical premises and normative assumptions of the book questionable may find the extensive discussions of Australian political history, comparative industry policy and political theory valuable." Mark Beeson, Pacific Affairs
