Centre Parties: Polarization and Competition About the book I have just reviewed this book titled as the Centre parties: polarization and competition in European Parliamentary Democracies [Paperback] written by Reven Hazav, which has been described as follows by the author: "What kind of impact do centre parties have in parliamentary democracies? How does the existence and growth of centre parties affect party system polarization, electoral competition and government stability? This text reassesses the perception of centre parties as a force of moderation. The author argues that this intuitive judgement, which has become accepted by political scientists is dubious, if not incorrect. He examines contemporary centre parties in Europe and asserts that the opposing tendency of centre parties contributes to party system polarization" It should be considered as a basic reading on centre parties and its political spectrum.
