The Routledge Handbook of Political Campaigning

"In an era of rapid technological transformation and fears for the future of democracy, this book provides a welcome and much-needed '360' account of change and continuity in contemporary political campaigning."

Rachel Gibson, University of Manchester, UK

"Campaigns are an integral part of political life in every single democratic country. Yet there are surprisingly few publications that attempt to take a comprehensive look behind the scenes. The Routledge Handbook of Political Campaigning has made a major contribution to this discussion by covering a wide range of different aspects and issues related to political campaigns."

Milos Gregor, Masaryk University, Czech Republic

"Political campaigning is a lifeblood of every modern society including those that try to impede it. For that reason, the Routledge Handbook of Political Campaigning should top every political communication scholar's wish list for the next few years to come. Not only do Darren G. Lilleker, Daniel Jackson, Bente Kalsnes, Claudia Mellado, Filippo Trevisan, and Anastasia Veneti offer a long-awaited, fresher perspective on political campaigning but their book uniquely offers three theoretical approaches, appropriate to our turbulent and trying times, but also relevant in broadening the conceptualization of this burgeoning research field."
