A New Approach to the Comparative Study of Political Parties
Abstract
The article presents to readers main ideas of the recently appeared «Political Parties and Democracy» that is comprised of five, stand-alone volumes. The development of political parties over the past century is analyzed as the story of three stages in the pursuit of power: liberation, democratization, and dedemocratization. In each volume, contributors explore the relationship between political parties and democracy (or democratization) in their nations at all three stages, providing necessary historical, socioeconomic, and institutional context, as well as the details of contemporary tensions. Three forms of dedemocratization are indentified and typology of links between parties and citizens are suggested.
