随着政治参与度的下降和政党忠诚度的减弱，西方民主正在被掏空的说法现在被广泛引用。然而，这些指标可能是不确定的，到目前为止还没有一个全面的比较研究。《统治虚空》分析了过去几十年来欧洲和美国的民主趋势，并认为有两个互补的过程在起作用。民众的脱离和政治精英从代表角色中的退出都导致了政党的死亡--以及西方民主的典型形式。这项具有里程碑意义的研究将成为任何对代议制民主未来感兴趣的人的参考点。
The argument that Western democracy is being hollowed out, as political participation declines and party allegiance weakens, is now widely cited. Yet the indicators can be uncertain and until now there hasn't been a comprehensive comparative study. "Ruling the Void" analyzes democratic trends over the last few decades, in Europe and America, and argues that there are two complementary processes at work. Popular disengagement, and the withdrawal of political elites from a representative role, are both contributing to the death of the political party - and with it the characteristic form of Western democracy. This landmark study will become a reference point for anyone interested in the future of representative democracy.
