The Day After Reform: Sobering Campaign Finance Lessons from the American States - Softcover

"The Day After Reform is a superb piece of work. The book makes its contributions in three distinct, though interrelated areas. First, it contains a careful compilation of data on state campaign finance experience. Second, it gives us probing analysis of the all-too-many false starts in public policy on campaign finance at the national and state level. Third, the authors offer a series of sound, carefully thought-out prescriptions about how to improve things." - Everett Carll Ladd, Executive Director, Roper Center for Public Opinion Research, University of Connecticut "This is a splendid book-thorough, sound, and enormously valuable to anyone interested in campaign finance reform. To my knowledge, there is nothing to equal this analysis at the state level." - Alan Rosenthal, Professor of Political Science, Eagleton Institute of Politics, Rutgers University "The Day After Reform is at the cutting edge of the growing body of work on state campaign finance reforms. It surpasses all the current literature in this area by showing what happens after reforms are adopted and by highlighting the lessons that can be learned at the federal level from the recent experience in the states. It should be required reading for legislators, election officials, campaign finance activists, and all students of political finance." - Anthony Corrado, Associate Professor of Political Science, Colby College
