Title

Extent of Nationalization of Republican Policy Positions in the Post-New Deal Era

Abstract

Examines the degree of intraparty integration in Republican policy positions during a period in which the Republican National Committee was increasingly nationalizing party affairs through the provision of services and money to state and local candidates and organizations. Content analyzes national and state Republican platforms from the period 1956-80. The results suggest that the GOP maintained its traditionally decentralized structure during a period in which there was a nationalization of other party functions.
