The headlines on US politics, currently covering caucus elections, are filled with names — Clinton, Cruz, Rubio, Sanders, Trump — and their personal positions on a handful of policy issues, but they direct less attention to their parties or the ideological standpoints that Democrats and Republicans should?

Is modern politics therefore becoming a more person-centred phenomenon rather than party- or ideology-focused? And if so, why? This new book, edited by Gianluca Passarelli, consists of a collection of country cases that provide an in-depth analysis of the extent of this presidentialisation of political parties and two possible explanations for its occurrence. Before commenting on the content of the book, I would like to present two elements that could help with its reading.

The first chapter of the book briefly discusses this issue and presents a working definition of presidentialisation for the remaining chapters.

Second, this book locates itself in the intersection of two research agendas heavily influenced by David Samuels and Matthew Shugart and Angelo Panebianco One merit of the book is the explicit connection of these two research agendas; this combination could be a more comprehensive approach towards understanding party organisation and behaviour. This short digression is useful because it helps to make clear the empirical strategy of the book.

From Chapters Two through Twelve, the book presents country studies that elaborate the links between the extent of party presidentialisation given the constitutional design in each country and the key genetic characteristics of the main political parties. These countries also capture variations of democratic traditions: Thus, it is a strategy that could strengthen or reshape the theoretical starting point. However, in spite of the similar approach and structure of the country studies, some appeared clearer to me than others.

For example, the chapter on Brazil seemed to persuade as to the validity of the argument logically, but in other cases I had the feeling that a lot of specific contextual detail gained space at the detriment of a more logical sequence of ideas.
