AB  - This article provides a critical survey of the literature concerning the notion of   realignment and examines to what an extent this theory can still account for   electoral changes in present-day United States. Specifically, it checks the views of   the major works on this topic against political developments and argues that,   despite significant revisions, such a formulation no longer holds and   adealignment perspective better reflects the contemporary dynamics of the   American party system.
