Summary:

Scholars of law and political science explore a number of systems for political finance, mostly in Britain, but also the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. They are concerned with developments in campaigning practice, how well regulations are fulfilling their goals, and the continuing impact of money on electoral success. The topics include institutional donations to political parties, the role of spending controls on new electoral actors and new campaign techniques, legal regulation and political activity at the local level in Britain, the media and the Rupert Murdoch problem, legal challenges to political finance and election laws, and the transformation of the campaign financing regime for US presidential elections.
