This volume stresses the need for a comparative approach when
dealing with the funding of party politics and a major related
aspect - corruption. This topic lies at the heart of any realistic
discussion of the logic of democratic representation. Corruption,
or the perception of corruption, has led to an ever-increasing
concern with political financing. In some cases the trend is toward
a greater role for the state in financing political parties, in
others the reverse is true. In this collection the individual
experiences of several Latin American countries (including Chile,
Colombia, Mexico, Uruguay, and Venezuela) are examined against the
background of Western Europe, with a view to identifying
similarities as well as differences. Given the centrality of
political parties to liberal democracies, this subject is of great
significance. Contributors include Angel Alvarez (Universidad
Central, Venezuela), Kevin Casas Zamora (University of Costa Rica),
Fernando Cepeda Ulloa (Universidad de los Andes, Colombia), Pilar
del Castillo (Spanish Minister of Education), Justin Fisher
(University of Brunel), Manuel Antonio Garreton (University of
Chile), Emilio Lama de Espinosa (Real Instituto Espanol Elcano de
Relaciones Internacionales y Estrategicas, Madrid, Spain), Juan
Molinar Horcasitas (Partido de Accion Nacional, Mexico), Michael
Pinto-Duschinsky (University of Brunel), Weronique Pujas
(University of Grenoble, France), Martin Rhodes (European
University Institute, Florence, Italy), Diego Urbaneja (Universidad
Central, Venezuela), and Laurence Whitehead (Nuffield College,
University of Oxford, UK).
