▼ This study uses party platforms to assess the degree of independence between state and national
political parties in the United States in light of issue ownership theory and morality politics. Utilizing a coding scheme adapted from the Comparative Manifesto Project, I analyze the ideology and content of 80 Democratic and Republican state party platforms from 2008-2010. I uncover substantial variations among state party platforms and findings suggest that state
parties manage to maintain a significant level of independence from the national
parties. Some of the findings suggest our current understanding of state party politics is inadequate. For example, contrary to expectations, Republican state party platforms show more ideological variation than their Democratic counterparts. In contrast to national patterns, Democratic state party platforms conform more consistently with issue ownership theory than their Republican counterparts. And Democratic state party platforms are significantly more likely to balance their progressive policy preferences with conservative party interests.

▼ The thesis attempts to explore the relationship between government change anddemocratic breakdown, based on a cross-national empirical study of 75 countries from 1951 to 2006 across all continents. A series of event-history analyses demonstrate that the average life expectancy of a ruling party in the ten years and the likelihood of democratic breakdown are in a U-shape relationship, regardless of a regime’s institutional systems, socioeconomic conditions, international relationship or environment, as well as its historical and cultural background. Both frequent ruling party changes and lack of ruling party change are detrimental to democratic survival. Statistical evidence indicates that too frequent changes in the ruling party dampens economic development and governance capacity, and increases the likelihood of democratic breakdown. On the other hand, it is found that lack of ruling party change may lead to non-constitutional anti-government activities and abuse of power by the incumbent, which increases the likelihood of democratic breakdown.

▼ Trust in
political parties is declining and with it the relevance of
parties, or so the de-alignment hypothesis claims. Using data from recent World Values Surveys, this paper provides evidence that the assumption is rather problematic. Longitudinal data shows that confidence is neither increasing nor declining but languishing at high levels. Additionally, cross-sectional data from the 2005-2008 WVS was analyzed using statistical tests at the individual and country level. The results demonstrate that one important factor increasing distrust is electoral disproportionality. Regime durability, interpersonal trust, and perceived democraticness reduce such sentiments. Corruption perception notably has no effect on individual respondents but decreases distrust on the national level. The results pose the question whether distrust is a reason for concern or just a phenomenon natural to representative democracy.

▼ The way political parties mobilize funds for their activities is recognized as an essential determinant of their internal democratic politics. This study examines the financing of political parties in Ghana. It is based on the hypothesis that the dependence of political parties on some wealthy members of society for funding affects their capacity to achieve internal democracy.
The study obtained primary data from a total sample of 1,111. This was made of a survey of 1,006 card holding members of four political parties, (the National Democratic Congress, New Patriotic Party, People’s National Convention and Convention People’s Party), which are consistently represented in Parliament; 105 interviews conducted with ordinary and executive members of political parties, public institutions and civil society in Ghana; and the relevant financial records of political parties provided by the Electoral Commission. The data analysis was guided by the rational choice institutional theory which sees members of political parties as rational political actors who provide funding to, or withhold funding from, political parties based on their calculation of the potential political and economic benefits.
Three key findings were uncovered by the study. First, contextual variables including the political environment, the economic status of citizens, the socio-cultural environment, and organizational factors have accounted for the inability of political parties to mobilize resources from their grassroots members. Second, party financing has, therefore, relied heavily on some wealthy members of society who use their power to control, to their advantage, the internal democratic politics of the parties. Third, neopatrimonial politics has emerged within political parties, where poor members sell their votes to wealthy politicians during the election of party representatives.
Based on the findings, the study recommends some form of state support, building capacity for effective party organization and enforcement of the rules and regulation governing funding of political parties to enhance democratic politics in Ghana.

▼ Using the framework of multi-speed membership, this thesis explores party membership and party organisational change. It does so within a single party case study, the British Labour Party: a party that has made significant changes to its membership model in the period of analysis (2011-2018). This party provides a critical case within which to explore and expand our understanding of membership and membership change. The case study takes both a demand-side (elite) and supply-side (members) approach in order to understand both the causes and consequences of multi-speed membership change. On the demand side, the question of 'why change?' is answered by developing a multi-level model of party change, a model appropriate to the idea of multi-speed membership. This framework not only facilitates a broad exploration of party change but demonstrates the value of a multi-level, interactive model which accounts for the role of party actors in shaping change as well as responding to it. The supply-side analysis explores the nature of party membership and the relationships between members and their party. This member-centred approach reveals the dynamics in this relationship: the processes that lead to joining, what happens after joining, and how and when the relationship sometimes ends. In taking this approach, new concepts and categories for understanding party membership are developed. These conceptual developments suggest a path towards solving some of the puzzles of party membership, such as why, in spite of significant ideological incongruence and dissatisfaction, some party members don't leave. This thesis seeks to fill the qualitative gap in party membership studies applying a mixedmethods approach utilising interviews, document analysis and participant observation within a single critical case to develop a comprehensive picture of the dynamics of party membership and party organisational change. This in-depth analysis of change in one party adds to our general understanding of party membership, party membership changes and their consequences, with insights that can be applied across other cases.

▼ The legacy of the Union Party, while small, should not be ignored. Although historians have largely disregarded the role of the Union Party in the 1936 presidential election, the argument presented in this thesis suggests that the Union Party emerged from a wide base of popular political opposition to the New Deal. Its failures were many, both as a party and as a coherent force. Ultimately, the Union Party faced a considerable power in the shape of the New Deal coalition, and the newly formed party proved incapable of draining voters away from the incumbent, President Franklin Roosevelt. The New Deal, moreover, was singularly successful in galvanising the American people. By turning his 1936 election campaign into a referendum on the success of the New Deal, Roosevelt challenged the electorate to choose the nation's future direction: an America where collective prosperity would be maintained, or a return to the divisive, individualistic self-interest that had brought about the Depression. The electorate made their choice clear: over 27.5 million Americans voted for Roosevelt – over 10 million more than for the Republican candidate, Alf Landon. Only 892,000 voted for William Lemke, presidential candidate of the Union Party.

▼ As a graduate student in
political science, I became
interested in the role of
political parties in the
American
political process. There are a number of
political scientists who now share V. O. Key's conviction
that party systems can be truly understood only in their
"dimension of time." A perusal of the literature on the
subject indicates that many
political and social
scientists have concerned themselves with the relationship
between the social system and the
political system.
In the last decade,
political scientists have adopted
an interdisciplinary approach, borrowing conceptual and
theoretical tools from sociology. In like manner,
sociologists have tried to relate
political science and
sociology in the study of man's social environment.
A question that has been the
subject of much debate
concerns the conditions under which party competition
exists. For example, why do some counties and states in
the United States consistently vote for one party while
other counties and states consistently support the other
party? And why do other counties and states have
competitive two-party systems?
One of the more interestlng aspects of this question is the nature of the relationship between party competition
and urbanization. Do relationships persist between these
two factors through different time periods? Or is the
relationship only a temporary one, limited by some
particular event? Some researchers have found support
for Key's contention that more highly and more urbanized
states and counties tend to have more competitive party
systems over long periods of time, although there have
been dissenters.
A number of studies have attempted to show that
urbanization and party competition are significantly
correlated with one another. In this paper, the inquiry
explores this relationship in California. Chapter I
provides an introduction to the study and attempts to
put the nature of the study in proper perspective. In
Chapter II there is a review of several selected studies
which reveals the nature of the controversy and the
disagreements among scholars. Included in this chapter
is a discussion of the methodology used, not only in the
studies mentioned above, but in the study of California
as well. Chapter III deals with the actual analysis of
the relationship between urbanization and party competition
in the Californla counties. Chapter IV presents
conclusions regarding the findings in California and
offers speculation on why the data shows what it does and the extent to which it is generalizable.
In general, value statements have been excluded.
However, explanatory statements have been provided for
clarity and continuity of the text.

▼ In 2000 the 71-year rule of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), the longest period of single party rule in the world, came to end, with it appearing that Mexico was entering a more democratic phase of its history. The change of regime did not however result in the destruction of the PRI or its institutions. For this reason, the democratisation process in Mexico has been postponed for years. Mexico's fairly new democracy still faces many of the problems of the past, which have prevented the country from consolidating its democracy. This dissertation tries to identify the areas which have been important to the democratisation process in Mexico, and how these areas function today. It does so from an historical perspective since much of today's problems have roots in the past. The past is then connected to contemporary Mexico. Mexico bears the burden of its history and this has been central to the delay of the consolidation of democracy. This dissertation deals with Mexico's transition to democracy, and its problems of consolidation by looking at the past and current state of the civil society, political society, and the rule of law. As a framework for the dissertation, a transition model developed by Juan J. Linz and Alfred Stepan, called the five arenas is used, along with different typologies of democracy and political parties. The existence of a strong, and fully functional political party system is crucial for the consolidation of democracy; this dissertation explores the evolution of the political party system under a hegemonic party rule of 71 years, and its later evolution to a more pluralistic, yet, not fully functional system during the 1990s and 2000s. Undemocratic electoral practices of the past under the hegemonic party system, have resulted in a weak political party system characterised by the absence of strong grassroots associations among citizens, the lack of clearly-defined ideological platforms, and their link to a charismatic leader rather than the strength of their founding principles. Parties that had been traditionally relegated to opposition for 71 years have now had the possibility to attain significant political power. Once faced with such a possibility, former opposition parties have realised that as a result of the lack of highly qualified leaders they have recruited former politicians from the ranks of the PRI. Undemocratic practices that were thought to have been exclusive to the hegemonic party have now spread to almost all other political parties in Mexico, further complicating the successful consolidation of democracy. The absence of unity in Mexico's political system created a similar condition in the criminal arena as criminal organisations started to mushroom. There has been a systematic failure of past and current administrations to quell violence, re-establish the state's presence, carry out significant state reform and to introduce functional political institutions. The link between political instability, weakened political parties and the surge in violence has often been…

Party Reform in a Climate of Political Polarization Anthony Stasi, Ph.D.Director: John Kenneth White, Ph.D.Abstract This dissertation examines the evolution of American political parties as institutions and explores how useful they are to the political process now and going forward. There has been a substantial amount of scholarship written on the development of political parties, but not a great deal of that scholarship is current. Without a robust party system, a democracy is left rudderless, and vulnerable to special interest groups. This research builds on the work of E.E. Schattschneider, V.O. Key, Sidney Verba, and many others while comparing that work to the modern political climate of polarization. The work in this dissertation takes a historical or archival approach to determining how political parties have experienced strong and weak periods. The historical perspective is followed by substantial modern data that suggests political parties are now in a weakened state. The intermediate variables that have contributed to the current state of political parties are explored throughout the middle chapters. There are established theories as to why voters have drifted from parties; demographic changes to the country, the way the American narrative is taught, geographical differences, etc. While those theories are valuable and carry with them a great deal of scholarship, there may be practical adjustments to the electoral process that would make participation in party politics more attractive. To give further evidence of this, states and cities in the United States have experimented with various forms of electoral change as a means to bring more voters into the primary process. The argument made here is that although American voters, especially in the last half-century, have somewhat of an aversion to political parties, they may be the only realistic approach to keeping the democracy from falling to factionalized special interests. The historically high numbers of independent voters has left parties smaller and more ideological. It also means that they are less representative of the larger electorate. Parties are, however, able to self-regulate the electoral process and thus regulate the political process away from special interest groups. The research is a mix of both structural and historical elements, coupled with metrics of electoral roles, party registrations, and voter turnouts. Despite the heavy amount of research on parties in the past, the prospect of a political landscape without parties has not been considered as deeply. Parties in a modern climate can be a stabilizing force among the moneyed and influence political interests that stand outside the electorate.

▼ Using an original dataset of state party bylaws, this dissertation examines the institutional role of state
political parties in congressional primaries. Specifically, I consider how representative state
political parties are of the general public, whether the varying levels of representation found in each state party influence who runs for Congress, and whether state
political parties are able to influence levels of electoral competition through provisions of their bylaws. Overall, I find both state Democratic and Republican
parties vary in the extent to which they prioritize gender representation and youth representation in their state central committees through their party rules. However, these rules only seem to influence the candidate emergence process during Democratic primaries. Specifically, in 2018, Democratic women were more likely to run for the House of Representatives when representing a state party chaired by a woman and when representing a state party which granted party committee membership to an allied women's group. Similarly, state Democratic
parties were more likely to nominate younger candidates for the House of Representatives as the number of youth party members in their state central committee increased. Beyond candidate emergence, I find state party rules also influenced levels of electoral competition during the 2018 congressional primary elections, albeit differently for each party. State Democratic
parties were less likely to see divisive primaries when they avoided policies that required the party to remain neutral during contested primaries. In comparison, state Republican
parties were less likely to see divisive primaries, and also saw fewer primary candidates in general, when they guaranteed ex-officio party membership to their co-partisan elected officials.

▼ Political Science
We frequently hear that Latinos are the fastest growing minority group in the United States. We also know that like many American immigrant groups, Latinos tend to reside in states where a critical mass of their community already is settled, in this case largely for geo-political reasons (e.g. New Mexico, Arizona, California, Texas, Florida and New York). Why, then, is Latino participation in national politics lower than white, Black, and Asian voters? And who has an interest in doing something about it? This project addresses several interrelated questions concerning the place of Latinos in American politics and the health of democracy in the United States. Political parties are meant to link citizens to the state. However, parties often fear that reaching out to certain groups may alienate the concerns of some core voters, providing a disincentive to political parties to prioritize Latino outreach. Here, I ask, to what degree are local political parties involved in mobilizing Latino voters as compared to other voting groups? Interest groups have much narrower constituencies than political parties by definition, but their purpose may not be exclusively, or even primarily, electoral. So, what role do interest groups and community organizations play in getting Latinos to vote? Perhaps parties and interest groups compliment each other's efforts to mobilize Latinos, so I ask, what relationship do political parties and interest groups develop in the push to mobilize Latino voters? I hypothesize that political parties increase efforts to mobilize Latino communities when these groups of voters are known to be reliable partisan voters and pivotal to winning elections at the local, state, and/or national level. Party organizations are unlikely to target Latino voters when they are few in number and make little difference in an election. Second, interest groups and organizations concerned with Latinos issues are going to be more consistent in mobilizing Latino voters whether or not they constitute a significant segment of the population and are pivotal to winning elections at the local, state, and/or national level. To answer these questions, I use several methods to gather data. Between November of 2008 and February 2009, I conducted a mail survey of 217 county political party chairs concerning Latino mobilization in the 2008 Presidential race. The survey was submitted to the chairs of every county political party in the ten states with the highest percentage of Latino population: Arizona, California, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and Texas. Responses were then matched to county census and election data in order to understand the relationship between mobilization activity, county demographics, and partisan identity. What best predicts Latino mobilization? Using a multiple regression model, I found that Latino population size threshold and whether a county resides in a presidential swing state most strongly predict Latino mobilization. The greater the size of the…

▼ The 1990s witnessed the widespread formation of
political parties organized around indigenous identity throughout the Latin American region. This project examines that phenomenon within the case of Bolivia. Bolivia was home to the region's first and most successful indigenous
political parties. Three primary areas of interest are examined: emergence, support, and representative efforts. Traditional explanations for
political party emergence and support fall into social and institutional explanations. Concerning emergence, these theories are incomplete when applied to indigenous
political parties because of inattention to the environment in which changes occur. This project argues that economic recession, increased coca eradication efforts, and decentralization policies provided the stimulus for indigenous groups to form
political parties. This theory is applied to Bolivia and its indigenous
political parties. Concerning
political party support, social and institutional explanations are compared using the region's most successful indigenous party, Movimiento al Socialismo. Social explanations carry the most explanatory weight while institutional factor pale in comparison. Finally, the representation efforts of Movimiento al Socialismo are examined in the first review of representation provided by indigenous
political parties. The review finds legislative efforts directed at natural resources and cultural preservation, but little attention given to autonomy and native justice issues.

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Political Science 2014.
This dissertation consists of three essays that seek to improve upon theoretical and empirical accounts of the three dimensions of party system institutionalization: (i) emergence of new parties; (ii) party nationalization; and (iii) ideological congruence between parties and voters. In explaining these aspects of the party system, my approach highlights the role of the informal mechanisms of clientelism. My dissertation argues that clientelism exerts centrifugal forces on the relationships among key actors, which in turn has negative effects on institutionalization.The first essay investigates why new parties emerge in an environment where clientelism is widespread, if clientelist practice empowers the ruling parties as conventional wisdom suggests. To answer this question, I highlight the structural aspect of clientelism. Drawing upon bargaining theory, I contend that when extensive clientelist practice is coupled with a decentralized resource structure, abundant resources actually reduce political actors' incentives to pledge allegiance to the incumbent party, as in this situation their resource needs can be easily met by alternative resource channels. I demonstrate that the combination of clientelist resources and decentralized clientelist structure creates an incubator for the birth of new parties.In the second essay, I ask why some parties are competitive throughout the country, while others appeal to only a few specific regions. In this study, I examine if and how much informal mechanisms of clientelism mediate the impact of formal party structure on party nationalization, i.e. the patterns of territorial vote distribution of parties. To this end, I explore the relationship among three variables: party structure, effectiveness of clientelism, and party nationalization. I hypothesize that extensive party structure enhances the effectiveness of parties' clientelist efforts, which in turn decreases party nationalization. Where clientelist efforts are effectively translated into electoral gains, elites and voters are more likely to establish relationships beyond party organizations. Therefore, I argue that effective clientelism undermines a party's organization as a collective entity. As existing studies suggest, parties with extensive organization tend to have higher levels of party nationalization. However, I find that this positive impact is suppressed to the extent that these organizational attributes improve the effectiveness of clientelism.Finally, the third essay examines the impact of clientelism on the level of congruence. Conceptualizing clientelism as a tool of persuasion employed by political parties, I maintain that elites distribute clientelist rewards in order to alter the preferences and behaviors of voters who would otherwise hold different or no views about parties' policies. In response to the rewards, I argue, some voters will develop an affinity to a patron party, and subsequently vote for that party despite it being located…

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Political Science 2016
Economic inequality has emerged a persistent topic in the popular press, academic circles, and election cycles. Indeed, mounds of evidence suggest the gap between the rich and the poor is not only growing in the United States, but also around the globe. While much research exists on the economic fallout of inequality, we have less understanding of the political repercussions of this expanding wealth gap. My dissertation, comprised of three main chapters, aims to address this lacuna and revise conventional wisdom by highlighting the consequences of economic inequality on our political systems and politics. In particular, I examine how economic inequality yields more extreme policy positions by political parties, how it fosters public discontent with democracy, and how it moves voters to prioritize redistributive issues. Each chapter features a clear micro-level model of how the rising economic inequality affects electoral incentives and redistributive preferences among party elites and voters. Together, they contribute to our understanding of how changes in economic inequality affect party-voter’s distributional linkage, redistributive attitudes, democratic processes, and democratic accountability.

▼ Thesis Ph. D. Michigan State University. Political Science 2017
This dissertation consists of three essays that investigate various political consequences of economic inequality in democracies. While focusing on the manners in which political actors, including political parties and voters, respond to rising economic inequality in electoral competition, each essay provides explanations of why voter-party linkages based on redistributive preferences weaken when economic inequality increases.The first essay investigates why, counterintuitively, the poor do not vote for leftist parties at the ballot box. While previous studies answer this question by focusing on potential factors distracting the poor from their economic interests, they fail to account for the economic and institutional contexts that may affect the poor's voting calculus. In order to fill this gap, this chapter theorizes that poor voters rely on changes in economic inequality to evaluate the performance of leftist governments. Specifically, I demonstrate that the poor support leftist parties only if the leftist government successfully advances the economic well-being of the poor by reducing economic inequality. Employing a hierarchical regression analysis using survey data from 54 elections across 21 advanced democracies, I find that income-based voting decreases when the wealth gap widens under leftist governments.The second essay focuses on right-wing parties' responses to changes in economic inequality in electoral competition. This chapter argues that the varying degrees of political constraints in advanced and emerging democracies incentivize right-wing parties to respond in different manners to the various levels of economic inequality. Specifically, rightist parties in advanced democracies attempt to politicize social issues in the face of high inequality. The reason underlying this attempt is that in advanced democracies stronger political constraints imposed on the strategic choice of party leadership curb opportunistic policy moderation of the rightist parties. In nascent democracies, however, the right-wing parties opt for more leftist positions within the economic dimension. I find supporting evidence for the predictions using 1754 party platforms of 475 parties in 44 democracies.The last essay empirically examines factors that may affect the intensity of ethnic appeals of political parties in electoral competition. In order to investigate the determinants of ethnic appeals, I focus on political and economic conditions that shape the incentive of political parties to engage in ethnic appeals in their pursuit of electoral gain. Relying on previous research studying ethnic politics, I then identify political and economic factors that are argued to incentivize political entrepreneurs to mobilize voters around ethnic issues. I find consistent evidence that economic inequality between (or within) ethnic groups is positively (or negatively) correlated with the intensity of parties' ethnic appeals using the information on party platforms of 386…

▼ This research aims to study the structure, funding and promotion of political parties in Greece, with significant reports, comparisons and analytical tables concerning the relevant institutional legal-political framework in Europe and United States of America. The ultimate aim is to highlight the inherent weaknesses of the existing political system, comparison and exemplification of the wider geopolitical system, as well as the juxtaposition of alternative proposals for improvement and change in order to eliminate any inequality in political competition and the waking of the citizen as an active member of society. The method used to conduct the research was to study in separate pieces the origin, structure, funding, promotion and position of political parties in society, highlighting the weaknesses at each stage and the juxtaposition of alternative proposals so at each stage separately and in the aggregate at the end. The literature and the case law of all chapters are at the end of the doctoral dissertation.Political parties are important for the functioning of the regime on the one hand because they are a tool to connect the citizen to the governance bodies on the other because they form the channels through which these bodies are informed of the citizens’ requests. The party system affects the structure of the parties developed in a country. The party system depends on the specific weight of certain critical factors, but also from their interdependence. In a multiparty system is given the opportunity to various political parties to come to power, either alone or forming coalition governments. On the other side, in the one-party domination systems Duverger since 1951 integrates only one-party systems and the systems of “dominant” party. The subsequent theory added two new categories: the hegemonic party systems and “standing above party” systems. But the multiparty leads to externalize political processes. The negotiation for the creation of political compromises is made public and more openly. The corresponding processes within major parties rarely acquire the same publicity and transparency.The constitutional legislator according to the innovative provision of paragraph 2 of Article 29 of the Constitution empowered the common legislator to arrange the state funding of political parties as well as the publication of their election expenses, as well as the expenses of prospective Members. The first such law that was passed was the Law 1443/1984 . Science, case law and the political parties throughout the period spotted weaknesses themselves and made recommendations for their treatment with a view to modernizing it. These proposals formed the basis for the formulation of several of the provisions of the Law 2429/1996 . A few days before the end of the second regular session of Parliament that emerged from the elections of April 9, 2000 the Law 3023/2002 was passed. With the adoption of the Law 3023/2002 the common legislator is harmonized to the new provisions of article 29 paragraph 2 of the Constitution. From 1st…

▼ Today, it is almost inconceivable to have a functioning democracy without political parties. Political parties perform important functions without which representative democracy could not exist. For political parties to remain relevant to the democratic dispensation, they need finances in order to run their day to day party activities. The financing of political parties is a key issue for ensuring good governance world over. Therefore, the study investigated political party financing in Zambia by exploring sources, transparency, and accountability. The objectives of this study were to establish the sources of funding for political parties, to establish the challenges that political parties face as they source for funds, to examine the extent to which political parties ensure transparency and accountability in the management of finances and establish mechanisms which political parties employ in reporting their financial transactions.
The research was qualitatively conducted using a descriptive survey design. The study was influenced by mass membership theory promulgated by Duverger (1954) which stated that, “the more members a political party has, the more volumes of money”. The target population included four Executive Directors of four Civil Society Organisations; four Presidents; four Secretary Generals; four Treasurer Generals of political parties; and the Registrar of Societies in Zambia. This research was conducted in Lusaka District of Lusaka Province.
The findings of this study suggest that political parties mostly raised their funds through membership fees, contributions from well-wishers, fundraising ventures and funding by the state. The study also revealed that political parties raise their finances through contributions from members of parliament and ministers. It was also clear that most political parties are only accountable to themselves and not to the public. Mechanisms such as financial reports, the opening of bank accounts and adherence to the party constitution provisions are employed by political parties to report their financial transactions. The study strongly recommends that the government should put in place a legal framework that will compel political parties to disclose their sources of funding and how the funds are spent.

▼ One of the defining social group cleavages in contemporary America is partisanship. Through the powerful force of group identity, partisanship can influence vote choice, issue positions, and attitudes towards government, politicians, and other partisans in
political and apolitical contexts. While previous studies on partisanship demonstrate its extensive effect on both
political and apolitical outcomes, little work looks at the content of partisan stereotypes and what type of information can activate partisan identity and discrimination when partisan labels are absent. In this dissertation, I argue that partisan identity and a range of social identities are now so intertwined that people can use the cultural symbols of these partisan coalition social groups, such as wearing camouflage or listening to rap for example, to infer partisan identity. These cultural preferences, like clothing style or music choice, are omnipresent pieces of information that are easily and casually communicated to others or observed simply by looking at someone. Through the
political behavior of cultural group leaders and the cultural behavior of politicians, these omnipresent cultural symbols can become politicized signals of partisan identity. As a result, people can and do engage in the partisan categorization of others either through small talk or, in some cases, without strangers even uttering a word, much less sharing an issue position. Furthermore, this partisan categorization has numerous downstream consequences for interpersonal interactions. Through the associative network surrounding partisan identity in long term memory, partisan categorization can activate partisan stereotypes and the affective tags people attach to the two
parties. As such, partisan categorization can result in partisan impressions of strangers and expressions of partisan bias and discrimination in daily interaction with others.

▼ Little is known about why elected officials choose to get involved in presidential nomination struggles. Recent research argues that elected officials have a collective incentive to nominate an electorally viable and ideologically unifying candidate. Yet, elected officials must balance these collective incentives with their own personal considerations (e.g., reelection motives, policy interests, ambition, ideology) that may either foster or inhibit their ability to act on their collective desire to nominate viable, ideologically unifying candidates. Further, this research then determines the extent to which elected officials are rewarded-or punished- for getting involved during the presidential nomination process. In particular, interparty differences between the Republican and Democratic coalitions predict that Republicans, but not Democrats, will be rewarded for attempting to lead intraparty nomination struggles. Finally, this research links the aggregate-level findings that endorsements from elected officials are important determinants of nomination outcomes to the individual level by arguing that elected officials' endorsements mobilize their constituents to get involved in politics. In particular, as the mobilization process targets those who are already likely to participate in the first place, endorsements during presidential primaries leads to differential participation in politics. In sum, this research provides individual level foundations for the causes and consequences of congressional endorsements in presidential nomination contests.

▼ This study focused on the extent to which British
political parties made pledges and policies for youth in their 2010 election manifestos to motivate them to vote and the extent to which these policies were subsequently reflected in the news to enable the youth to be informed of the policies that are relevant for them. Previous literature has argued that
political parties are to blame for low youth voter turnout but these arguments were based on survey studies among young people and no research had been conducted on the actual policies
parties make for youth. Content analysis was carried out on the election manifestos of the three biggest
parties in the UK and news articles by three online news sources to determine the attention given to young people. The results showed that very few pledges were made specifically for young people in the manifestos but that news media did report about these pledges fairly often. It was concluded that the
political parties offer young people very little motivation to vote, but also that the media does inform youth about the policies that are relevant for them. These results lend support to the claim in the literature that youth are often marginalised in policy discourse and youth voter abstention could, to some extent, be a result of the reluctance of
political parties to sufficiently address youth issues.

This master‘s paper uses controversial issue
of party financing as an example to explore the effectiveness of a
particular regulation. The aim of the paper is to give an objective
overview of the issue of political party financing in Lithuania
that may be worth while elaborating and before adopting new
regulations in this sphere. Author discusses the situation in
Lithuania and other countries thus giving the analysis and
recommendations for particular circumstances of party finance in
country. In this master’s paper main further-used concepts are
analysed, looking for answers to questions like: how to ensure the
transparency of the funding of political parties? What are the
preconditions for regulation to be effective? How far should public
funding be used to support political parties? As legislation on
financing of political parties is studied, the master’s paper
searches for main ideas about political parties and the notion what
is the aim of financing regulation. Consequently, the answer allows
formulating the aim and objectives of party finance regulations
introduced in Lithuania, and seeing the main problems obstructing
the reaching of the aim. The present problems in Lithuania include,
first, lack of control and transparency, second, unfairness in
political struggle, and financial barriers to enter it, third,
threat of corruption and illegal influences of sponsors, fourth,
violation of limitations and restrictions, and finally, fall-off in

▼ The purpose of this dissertation was to address the problem expressed in the
following question: "Why have the opposition
political parties in Lesotho
weakened since 1993?"
A qualitative approach was used. The researcher interviewed officials of twelve
representative
parties out of the total of eighteen
parties. The responses of the
interviewees are in appendix 5.
This work reveals the problems of the opposition
parties in Lesotho. Among
others, the study addressed the following issues: the reform of the electoral
system,
political party funding, dominance of the ruling party, prohibitive
legislation and party leadership. The potential strengths and weaknesses of the
opposition
parties have been noted.
The MMP electoral model, introduced in 2001 and tested in 2002, created a more

Unequal Parties: Partisan Differences in Political

▼ This dissertation seeks to answer the
question: why do Democratic and Republican identifiers differ in
their voting behavior, activism, and contributions? Republican
identifiers are more likely than Democratic identifiers to turn out
to vote and to vote for their chosen party rather than defect.
Republicans are more likely to become activists on behalf of their
party. Republicans also are more likely than Democrats to make
financial contributions to their party. These partisan differences
in
political behavior and party loyalty persist even after
controlling for the most obvious explanation: that demographic and
socioeconomic differences in the type of people who identify with
each party explain these observed behavioral differences.
We lack theoretical explanations for why Republican mass
identifiers and activists are more likely to engage in these
behaviors than their Democratic counterparts. Miller and Shanks
(1996, 165) argue that an “explanation for Democratic variability
and Republican constancy should rank high on electoral researchers’
agenda for future research.” I argue that these partisan
differences in
political behavior are a product of differences in
how Democratic and Republican identifiers understand and relate to
their
political identities. Democratic identifiers are less likely
than Republican identifiers to engage in partisan
political
behavior because they either are more likely than Republicans to
experience an internal conflict between their
political identities
or because they react differently than Republicans to internal
conflict. Specifically, if Democratic identifiers respond more
negatively to internal conflict, this also would lead them to be
less likely than Republicans to engage in these key
behaviors. Contrary to the conventional wisdom,
I find that Republicans are not inherently more loyal than
Democrats because they consistently choose to blindly follow their
party. Democrats turn out less, defect more, and support their
party as activists and donors less than Republicans because they
are more likely to experience an internal conflict between their
partisan and other group identities. Republicans appear more loyal
by engaging in partisan
political behavior because, quite frankly,
they do not have to make the choice of group over party as often as
Democrats.

The Greens of Finland in social media: Facebook as a communication forum.

▼ The Greens of Finland is a Finnish
political party which is actively involved in social media in general, and on Facebook in particular. The objectives of this thesis were to assess Facebook as a communication tool for the Greens and to improve the party’s social media strategy. The research was made during the period from February 2011 till January 2012. The research methods used were mainly qualitative – content analysis was made on all data. Furthermore, typology and quantification were used in the analysis conducted on Facebook discussions.
The primary data come from discussions on Facebook during the government negotiations in spring 2011, when the Greens actively communicated on their Facebook page. Different comment types were created, based on the tone of discussion and the complexity of comments. The level of interactivity between people and the influence of communication means were also assessed. Discussion topics were not in the main focus of this research.
The findings from Facebook were compared to the secondary data, interviews with the Greens’ Communication Team on their experiences with Facebook as a communication tool and discussions of a web communication network based on the Green discussion forum regarding their own presence in the social media. Based on my findings and the relevant theory on social media and social media strategies, I have made developmental suggestions regarding the usage of Facebook vis-à-vis the Greens’ social media strategy.
The results indicate that the Greens’ Communication Team knows the contents of their Facebook page quite well and that they use it in various ways. They benefit substantially from social media’s two-way communicational nature, but they could be somewhat more interactive. The discussion on the Greens’ Facebook page is equally analytical and critical; people tend to justify their opinions and not just express a feeling, for instance. Crowdsourcing – asking people to participate – creates the most discussion. As for social media strategy, volunteers’ help could be exploited more efficiently, the discussion online could be directed to a certain forum and different forums could be made more open to the public.

Power to the masses? The rise of direct democracy in Latin

Degree: PhD, Politics and International Relations, 2015, University of Southern California

▼ In order to understand the extremely complex world of
direct democracy, research agendas must tackle three critical
aspects of direct democracy: 1) the design, 2) the institutional
environment where MDDs transpire, and 3) the combination of these
two. This dissertation does this. It examines the advent of direct
democracy—both its adoption and use—in a region—Latin
America—traditionally ignored by scholars. By thinking about direct
democracy theoretically, by examining the region as a whole, and by
examining a country up close, this dissertation provides a new
understanding of direct democracy: governments are providing MDDs
but they decide on what terms they are to be used. This
dissertation maintains that the space of democracy is expanding
while simultaneously being constrained. As such in reinforces
previous findings that direct democracy—understood to be a set of
institutions that allow citizens to express their preferences at on
policy issues the ballot box through universal and secret
suffrage—is Janus‐faced: some MDDs democratize politics whereas
others enhance the power of politicians who deliberately use them.
❧ Overall, Power to the Masses? makes several contributions to our
knowledge of direct democracy. Among the most important are: 1)
Understanding both the process and the mechanisms of direct
democracy is equally important. Arguments that make causal
statements and causation arguments must understand both and provide
a strong argument of how they interact. 2) Not all MDDs are equally
buttressed by democratic theory. In other words, only some MDDs are
fully supported by the democratic principles for a democratic
government outlined by Robert Dahl. Some mechanisms (initiatives)
do give power to citizens while others (non‐binding referendums)
act of nothing more than opinion polls. 3) The contemporary
institutions of direct democracy have little in common with ancient
Athenian democracy. Modern day direct democracy mechanisms are not
a return to something that once was. Rather, they are the
introduction of something completely new. 4) The constitutions in
Latin America provide an ambiguous basis for the use of direct
democracy and this may allow governments to shape and limit their
use during the agenda‐setting stage. 5) The low use of
citizen‐initiated MDDs in Latin American can partly be explained by
the difficulty of triggering the mechanisms. In essence, while
meant to be a tool for citizens, the design of MDDs (barriers and
limitations) makes them extremely difficult to undertake. 6) Unlike
in many other Latin American countries, Mexican Left
parties did
not widely support the adoption of direct democracy. The
legislative debate reveals several attempts to increase the
difficulty of triggering MDDs. 7) The popular consultation process
in Mexico is beginning to take shape as a tool of
political parties
and not one of citizens. This is because the barriers to qualifying
proposals to the ballot require many resources not easily available
to citizens. Finally, 8) the traditional explanations (those…

▼ The research question addressed by this study is: what is the relationship between Europeanization and the rise of extremist
parties? In particular I examine the impact of Europeanization on the rise of extreme right
parties in Europe from 1984 to 2006. Europeanization in this paper is defined as a process whereby the transformation of governance at the European level and European integration as a whole has caused distinctive changes in domestic politics. This process of Europeanization is one part of a structure of opportunities for extremist
parties (which also include social, economic, and electoral factors). Although this study finds that Europeanization does not have a statistically significant effect it is still an important factor when examining domestic
political phenomenon in Europe.

▼ At the time of the Ghana’s independence in March 1957, a democratic system of government was instituted, but the process of political development was derailed and often interrupted by frequent coups. This is evident in the interchange of military and civilian regimes in the last fifty-one years. While in the post-independence era, the development of democracy, the party system and democratic institutions in Ghana has taken many twists and turns due to the persistent military interventions in politics, as part of the third-wave of democratization, in 1992, under Ghana’s Fourth Republic, a new democratic system was re-introduced in the country under the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government. The opening of political spaces for the political parties and civil society organizations in the last two decades has witnessed the resurgence of political parties of different sizes and ideological orientation under various political traditions, which has led to the strengthening of Ghana’s party system.
This, in turn, has immensely facilitated the country’s democratic development, which was evidenced in the 2000 power alternation that led to the election of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to power. Since the emergence of the third-wave of democratization, there have been numerous theoretical approaches by democratic transition and consolidation theorists on the role of political parties in the nurturing and consolidation of democracy in the third-wave countries. This study examines the internal organization of parties and their role in Ghana’s democratic transition and consolidation. On the basis of the evidence presented in this study, it can be concluded that while the political parties have been the bedrock for Ghana’s democratic transition and consolidation processes, there are a number of key issues such as internal party democracy and candidate selection processes that needed to be resolved by the political parties in order to strengthen Ghana’s democratic consolidation process.
