Reviews
-
This is an important book. Savigny raises issues about the anti-democratic nature of the processes of political marketing - and the failure of political marketing to encourage an active and engaged citizenry - which make this book essential reading for both academics and practitioners. -- Professor Mick Temple, Professor of Journalism & Politics, Staffordshire University
-
Heather Savigny's The Problem of Political Marketing is an exceptionally timely and important intervention which powerfully exposes and scrutinises the rationales premises at the heart of the new political marketing paradigm. It should be required reading for students and analysts of democratic politics and, indeed, for all those interested in the sources of contemporary political disaffection. -- Colin Hay, Professor of Political Analysis, University of Sheffield
