Description

This Routledge Library Edition examines the essential role of political parties in modern governance and democratic systems. The author argues that parties are indispensable to contemporary politics, serving as the foundation for legitimising modern systems and securing citizen loyalty and support. The analysis demonstrates how parties function as a democratising force by expanding the pool from which political leaders are recruited, contrasting party-based systems with the alternatives of aristocratic rule or authoritarian repression. This Volume 54 in the Political Science collection provides critical insight into party structures, their necessity in preventing traditional elite dominance, and their contribution to stable, representative governance across diverse political systems.
