The Rise of National Parties in State Politics
In the past, state politics was largely dominated by local issues and concerns. However, in the wake of the New Deal and Great Society programs, the federal government became more involved in state affairs, leading to a closer relationship between national and state political parties. This trend was further accelerated by the rise of national media and the increasing importance of campaign funds, both of which gave national parties greater influence over state elections.
Nationalization of State Campaigns
One of the most significant ways in which national parties have transformed state politics is through the nationalization of state campaigns. In the past, candidates for state office would focus primarily on local issues and concerns. However, today, candidates must also pay attention to national issues and the positions taken by their national party. This is due, in part, to the fact that national media now plays a major role in state elections. Candidates must therefore be able to appeal to a national audience as well as a local one.
Financial Influence
National parties also have a significant financial advantage over state parties. This is due to the fact that they can raise money from donors across the country. As a result, they can provide financial support to state candidates who are willing to align themselves with the national party's platform. This financial advantage can give national parties a significant edge in state elections.
Polarization and Gridlock
The increasing influence of national parties in state politics has also contributed to the polarization and gridlock that has become so common in recent years. This is because national parties are often more ideologically driven than state parties. As a result, they are less likely to compromise and more likely to take extreme positions. This polarization has made it difficult for state governments to address the needs of their constituents, leading to gridlock and a decline in public trust.
Implications for American Democracy
The transformation of state politics by national parties has had a profound impact on American democracy. It has made state elections more nationalized and more partisan. It has also given national parties more power over state governments. These changes have raised concerns about the future of democracy in the United States. Some argue that the increasing influence of national parties is undermining the ability of states to govern themselves. Others argue that national parties are necessary to ensure that state governments are responsive to the needs of the American people.
How National Parties Transformed State Politics is a timely and important book that provides a comprehensive analysis of the increasing influence of national parties in state politics. Abramowitz argues that this trend has had a profound impact on American democracy, both positive and negative. While national parties can help to ensure that state governments are responsive to the needs of the American people, they can also undermine the ability of states to govern themselves. The future of American democracy will depend on the ability of national and state parties to find a way to work together to address the challenges facing the country.
