Political Parties and Elections presents a comparative analysis of
the ways in which advanced industrial democracies seek to regulate
the activities of political parties in electoral contests. Actual
political practice suggests that parties are crucial actors in
democratic elections, yet the nature and extent to which parties
are regulated, or even recognized, as participants in the electoral
process varies greatly among nations. Author Anika Gauja analyzes
the electoral laws of five key common law democracies with similar
parliamentary and representative traditions, similar levels of
economic and political development, yet with significantly
different electoral provisions: the United States, the United
Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Using the relationship
between law and politics as a lens, the book focuses specifically
on the ways in which these jurisdictions seek to regulate the
behavior of their political parties as the product of a broader
normative vision of how representative democracy ought to function.
In its subject matter, comparative scope, and interdisciplinary
theoretical framework, this book examines not only electoral law
but also ancillary legislation such as funding regulations,
associations and corporations law, and constitutional provisions.
It also analyzes the case law that guides the interpretation of
this legislation. Political Parties and Elections represents an
innovative body of research, comparing for the first time the
electoral-legal regimes of a significant number of common law
nations.
