About the Book

The Limits of Participation is the only book-length analysis of Reform Party activists and early members. Outlining key stages in party evolution, such as the recruitment of activists into the party and the search for a national profile, this is the first comprehensive history of Reform Party development. This is a detailed study of the grassroots phenomenon that was the Reform Party and is the only systematic analysis of its evolving constitutional and organizational efforts. The Limits of Participation is a fascinating glimpse of a political party attempting to bridge the participatory demands of its members and the strategic plans of its leaders in a bid to secure national political power.
