The book provides a comprehensive view on the internal life of
parties and investigates the dynamics of intra-party politics in
different party environments to explain in which circumstances the
party leader is more or less bound by the wills of party factions.
Analyzing almost 500 intra-party documents from Italy, Germany and
France, it presents a theory of intra-party politics that
illuminates internal decision-making processes and sheds light on
the outcomes of factional conflicts on the allocation of payoffs
within the party, on the risk of a party split and on the survival
of the party leader. Using text analysis, the results show that
consensual dynamics can allow to preserve party unity and that
directly elected leaders can exploit their larger autonomy either
to reward followers or to prevent splits. This text will be of key
interest to scholars and students of Party Politics, Political
Institutions, European Politics and more broadly to Comparative
Politics, Political Theory and Text Analysis.
