The Art of Political Manipulation
The Art of Political Manipulation
Book • 1986
In this influential book, William H. Riker illustrates the 'heresthetic art' of political strategy, showing how politicians manipulate choices, agendas, and votes to achieve desired outcomes.
Drawing on examples like Lincoln's debates with Douglas and the defeat of the Equal Rights Amendment in Virginia, Riker demonstrates how ordinary tactics and parliamentary tricks can sway political results.
The concluding chapter synthesizes these tales into a new theory explaining why manipulation succeeds in politics.
