In this introduction to the theme of political parties, attention
is given to those theoretical works that have the most direct
bearing on the subject. To illustrate these theoretical ideas, the
book applies comparative approaches to the British case. The book
focuses on concepts which highlight various "trade offs"
confronting party leadership and their impact on party behaviour.
It addresses concepts that relate to competitive parties - party
institutionalization, organizational models, intra-party
competition, and the impact of intra-party conflicts on party
behaviour. The latter aspect takes the reader through to the second
part of the book, namely competitive party systems. Here, notions
that pertain to multiparty electoral competition, the impact of
regional integration on a party's behaviour, issue orientation, and
party system change are discussed. Students taking courses on
political parties should find this book a useful introduction to
the basic conceptual paradigms and salient theories of the topic.
