Scrutinizing a relatively new field of study, the Handbook of
Political Party Funding assesses the basic assumptions underlying
the research, presenting an unequalled variety of case studies from
diverse political finance systems. With contributions from both
eminent international scholars and prominent representatives of the
second generation of students in the field, this original and
thought-provoking collection of current research updates our
understanding of party funding regimes, while contributing to the
re-examination of perennial and often problematic issues. It
illustrates, using select empirical data, the range of alternative
political finance structures, exposing both the limits of these
regimes and their effects on parties, systems and on democratic
competition. Offering diverse and detailed case studies, the
chapters examine the stakes involved nationally, and the impact of
financing on the political environment. At the same time, they
present a picture of a field of study that is still establishing
itself, offering direction for future research. Students and
academics of political science, public law and comparative politics
will find this an essential reference for studying party funding
and its wider influence. Members of political institutions and
those fighting political corruption will find this an incredibly
useful Handbook for understanding the positives and negatives of
party funding globally. Contributors include: M. Blumenberg, R.
