It is often suggested that political parties are becoming
increasingly alike, and that party politics has turned into an
elite affair where political professionals collude to further their
self-interest rather than work to represent the interests of their
constituents. In recent decades this diagnosis has been famously
associated with Richard Katz and Peter Mair's cartel party theory.
Yet so far this controversial thesis has not been subjected to
systematic empirical scrutiny, nor has its conceptual and normative
underpinnings been properly considered. In this volume a group of
political scientists with different specialisations take on this
task, focusing empirically on the Swedish party system, which the
originators of the cartel party theory have suggested is especially
conducive to the formation of party cartels. Collecting new and
unique qualitative and quantitative data, the volume casts serious
doubt on the validity of the cartel party theory as an explanation
for party system change.
