Political parties have only recently become a subject of
investigation in normative political theory. Parties have
traditionally been studied by political scientists in their
organizational features and in relation to the analysis of related
topics such as party systems and electoral systems. Little
attention, however, was paid until recently to the normative
assumptions that underlie partisanship and party politics. Are
parties desirable for democratic politics? How should liberal
democracies deal with extremist and/or anti-democratic parties? Do
religious parties undermine the secular distinction between
religion and politics and is that bad for liberal democracies?
These are only some of the many questions that political theorists
had left unanswered for a long time. The chapters in this
collection aim to provide a twofold contribution to the normative
analysis of partisanship. On the one hand, they aim to offer a
first much needed 'state of the art' of the existing research in
this area. Many of the contributors have already done extensive
research on partisanship and their chapters partly reflect their
research expertise and individual approaches to this topic. On the
other hand, all chapters move beyond the authors' existing work and
represent significant additions to the normative literature on
partisanship, thus setting the standards for future research in
this area. This book was published as a special issue of Critical
Review of International Social and Political Philosophy.
