Counter realignment : political change in the northeastern United States
\"In Counter Realignment, Howard L. Reiter and Jeffrey M. Stonecash analyze data from the early 1900s to the early 2000s to explain how the Republican Party lost the northeastern United States as a region of electoral support. Although the story of how the 'Solid South' shifted from the Democratic to the Republican parties has received extensive consideration from political scientists, far less attention has been given to the erosion of support for Republicans in the Northeast. Reiter and Stonecash examine who the Republican Party lost as it repositioned itself, resulting in the shift of power in the Northeast from heavily Republican in 1900 to heavily Democratic in the 2000s\"-- Provided by publisher.

The Study of Political Parties, 1906–2005: The View from the Journals
A review of party-related articles in major political science journals over the past century reveals an increase in the incidence of such articles during the behavioral revolution and a decline in the proportion of studies that view parties holistically or in their organizational aspects and an increase in research on mass and legislative behavior. The essay calls for scholars of American parties to merge empirical findings with the generalist and normative concerns of an earlier age, to assess the recent advent of parties as ideologically focused instruments of policymaking.

The Building of a Bifactional Structure: The Democrats in the 1940s
More than half a century ago, the Democratic Party in the US underwent a transition from a party of relative fluid factions to one with a fairly stable bifactional structure according to whether party members were from the North or from the South. Reiter examines when, why and how this transition occurred, focusing on two arenas where Democrats from all over the nation assembled--the national party conventions and Congress.

The Bases of Progressivism within the Major Parties: Evidence from the National Conventions
In the early decades of the twentieth century, for the first time in American history, a movement based on a broad agenda of political reform arose to dominate the political discourse. It inspired the growth of the regulatory state, the doubling of the size of the electorate, many reforms that were aimed at weakening the grip of machine politics, and other changes too numerous to list here. According to influential studies, the period gave us a “new American state” (Skowronek 1982) combined with the “onward march of party decomposition” (Burnham 1970). For both major parties, we are told, there were clear divisions associated with support for or opposition to the progressive movement. Within the Democratic Party, William Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson held high the banner of progressivism, while Alton B. Parker, John W Davis, and other heirs of Grover Cleveland spoke for conservatives.

IN MEMORIAM: John N. Plank
Reiter presents an obituary for John N. Plank, professor emeritus of political science at the University of Connecticut, who died at his home in Storrs CT on Apr 30, 2005 at the age of 81. Plank's lifelong love of normative political theory infused his teaching, as he impressed on a generation of students the need to combine power with moral purpose.
