The Campaign Manual, 7th ed. A Definitive Study of the Modern Political Campaign Process

Auteur: S. J. Guzzetta
Domaine d'utilisation: Campagnes électorales
Type: Pratique
Langue: Anglais

"My goal was to develop a book that would be used by candidates who needed basic guidance in the fundamentals of managing well organized and effective political campaigns. I have shown the concepts, methods, and techniques that are a part of the foundation of political campaigning and that would be of value and interest to not only candidates, but to individuals with a general knowledge and interest in the political campaign process. Many professors have made the manual a standard in their political science classes. Many of my fellow Political Campaign Consultants use the manual as it was originally intended, i.e. to train campaign staff on "how to" operate a successful political campaign. In this revised and updated 6th Edition, I have updated relevant data in all areas of campaign management in the Millenium including elaborating on job descriptions, computerizing the campaign, campaign management software, the use of the Internet, and the campaigning process in general. I have spent more time discussing the variables in campaigning situations. You will also find new material about the changes that have occurred as a result of new technology developed since earlier editions and we have invested much time and energy into making the reference aspects of the manual user friendly. The Campaign Manual is applicable to the democratic process in the international arena. It can be used with cultural adaptations, in the promotion of the democratic political and electoral process in emerging societies. It is being used in 33 countries throughout the world. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition."

Sondages d’opinion et communication politique (Cahier CEVIPOF n° 38)

Auteur: MARQUIS Lionel
Année de publication: 2005
Domaine d'utilisation: Communication politique
Type: Théorie
Langue: Français
Adresse du site Internet: http://www.cevipof.com

"Lionel Marquis (Institut de science politique, université de Berne) se propose d’analyser la manière dont les sondages d’opinion influencent la communication politique dans nos sociétés contemporaines. Dans un premier temps, cette influence est examinée au travers des interactions entre, d’une part, les sondages et le secteur d’activité qui s’y rapporte, et, d’autre part, le personnel politique et les mass médias qui s’en servent abondamment pour les besoins les plus divers. Il apparaît ainsi que les sondages exercent un impact surtout indirect sur les compétitions électorales, notamment en opérant une première sélection parmi les candidats et en conditionnant la perception de l’issue des élections chez les leaders politiques et les journalistes. Dans un second temps, l’auteur analyse quelles sont les pré-conditions nécessaires à une influence potentielle des sondages sur les électeurs. Il met en évidence une dizaine de mécanismes psychologiques permettant d’expliquer une conversion des préférences électorales suite à une prise de connaissance des résultats des sondages."
