This book is a major analysis of the role of political parties in
the development and promotion of democracy. Alan Ware offers a
discussion of an area of political life which has remained
underexamined - the impact of parties on democratic life. Ware's
work combines a comparative study of parties with a comprehensive
discussion of democratic theory. He examines the role of parties in
one-party political systems, focussing on the issue of whether
there can be democracy in one-party systems. These party systems
are then contrasted with those found in representative democracies.
Ware offers a detailed analysis of the development, evolution and
structure of political parties in the West, exploring such issues
as the nature of voter-choice in two-party and multi-party systems,
and who exactly controls the political system - the voter or the
parties, the political elite or the grass-roots activists? Finally,
Ware looks at the internal operations of political parties and the
fate of attempts to democratize them. He draws extensive
conclusions about the proper place of parties and party systems in
democratic theory. This book will be of interest to academics and
students in political science, government, current affairs and
international relations. Politicians and party activists.
