Besides retaining the original empirical structure of the election process latest US Presidential Election and UK elections find mention in the book in addition to the ensuing Parliamentary Elections in India. Electioneering issues have been scrutinized in depth by the research scholar besides the role of media and political personalities. Findings reveal that the identified gaps enable the political parties to improve the focus and result in more efficient economics and more fruitful outcomes of political campaigns.

The book also analyses the electors psyche and factors responsible for convincing him to vote in favour of particular political party. The author finds that the process of political marketing is already in practice and American Presidential Election is termed as the theatre of marketing techniques, incidentally all the democracies in the world have borrowed the same from American system. The recent elections in United States adopted the original Indian campaigning practice of personal contact with the electors.
