This book provides a framework for analyzing the impact of the
separation of powers on party politics. Conventional political
science wisdom assumes that democracy is impossible without
political parties, because parties fulfill all the key functions of
democratic governance. They nominate candidates, coordinate
campaigns, aggregate interests, formulate and implement policy, and
manage government power. When scholars first asserted the essential
connection between parties and democracy, most of the world s
democracies were parliamentary. Yet by the dawn of the twenty-first
century, most democracies had directly elected presidents. Given
this, if parties are truly critical to democracy, then a systematic
understanding of how the separation of powers shapes parties is
long overdue. David J. Samuels and Matthew S. Shugart provide a
theoretical framework for analyzing variation in the relationships
among presidents, parties, and prime ministers across the world s
democracies, revealing the important ways that the separation of
powers alters party organization and behavior thereby changing the
nature of democratic representation and accountability.
