[EL] Announcing my new book"Election Law and Democratic Theory" and seeking book proposals

[Schultz, David A.]

I am very pleased to announce the publication of my new book, Election Law
and Democratic Theory, by Ashgate Publishing (January 2014).   It is my
attempt to bring some coherence to election law by situating the
jurisprudence in this area within a theory of American democracy.  Here is
a link to the webpage for the book, replete with wonderful blurbs about the
book by Dan Lowenstein, Dan Tokaji, and Trevor Potter.

This book is the sixth one in my editorial series with Ashgate entitled
“Election Law, Politics, and Theory.   The other titles are really good and
I encourage you to consider submitting a book proposal for the series.  A
link to the series’ description is here along with information on the other
books already published. http://www.ashgate.com/default.aspx?page=3217
I would be happy to talk to anyone interested in submitting a book proposal.

Here is a description of my book from the cover:

    While numerous books and articles examine various aspects either of
democratic theory or of specific topics in election law, there is no
comprehensive book that provides a detailed and scholarly discussion of the
political and democratic theory underpinnings of election law. Election Law
and Democratic Theory fills this important gap, as author David Schultz
offers a scholarly analysis of the political principles and democratic
values underlying election law and the regulation of political campaigns
and participants in the United States. The book provides the first
full-length examination of the political theories that form the basis for
many of the current debates in election law that structure both Supreme
Court and scholarly considerations of topics ranging from campaign finance
reform, voting rights, reapportionment, and ballot access to the rights of
political parties, the media, and other players in the system. It
challenges much of the current debate in election law and argues for more
discussion and development of a democratic political theory to support and
guide election law jurisprudence.
