How do today's political parties relate to other organisations? Do
they prefer rather distant relationships with a wide range of
interest groups - or have they virtually detached themselves from
civil society altogether? Scholars seem to agree that traditionally
close relationships - such as those between social democratic
parties and trade unions - have grown weaker since the 1960s. But
to date only limited systematic research has been conducted. While
parties and interest groups attract a great deal of attention from
political scientists, the links between them have been largely
overlooked. This book is an attempt to bridge the gap, starting
from the party side of the relationship. It throws new light on the
topic by presenting a theory-driven, comprehensive study of
Norway's seven major political parties and their relationships with
interest groups at the beginning of the new millennium. Based on
original and extensive data, including party documents, in-depth
interviews with key players and a survey of national party elites,
Elin Haugsgjerd Allern paints a nuanced picture of the nature and
significance of these relationships and the factors that shape
them. A major conclusion is that Norway's parties tend to maintain
rather distant but wide-ranging relationships with interest groups
today. However, some parties still have fairly strong links with
their traditional associates and a narrower network of links with
other groups. Hence, Allern also shows that significant differences
exist between parties that are apparently exposed to the same
social, political and institutional environment.
