Practical knowledge from the rapidly-emerging field of political marketing As in large corporations and small companies, the political systems in democratic countries are based on free market principles. The rapid development of democracy and political freedoms has created new and sophisticated psychology-based methods of influencing the way voters choose.

The results of the testing suggest the theory is a ground-breaking cross-cultural model with theoretical and strategic global implications. This unique book examines the many facets of political marketing and its direct relationship with the voter. A comprehensive theory meticulously tested in the dynamic political waters of the U.S. and Europe, this text bridges the latest theoretical developments in the emerging and advanced democracies. A Cross-Cultural Theory of Voter Behavior offers an innovative and seldom seen international perspective that integrates up-to-date literature in political science with advanced political marketing to provide readers with useable, unified information. In addition, the text is replete with detailed references and illustrated with a wealth of informative tables and graphics to made pertinent data accessible and easily understood. Some of the topics discussed in A Cross-Cultural Theory of Voter Behavior include: politics in an age of manufactured images the decline of social cleavage voting partisanship and party identification candidate-centered politics political cognition social categorization of politicians the role of advertising and emotion economic vs. political marketing marketing orientation in political campaigns traditional models of voter behavior the Newman and Sheth Approach and many more!
