Political parties with activists are in decline due to various
external shocks. Societal changes, like the emergence of new
technologies of communication have diminished the role and number
of activists, while party elites increasingly can make do without
grassroots activists. However, recent scholarship concerning
different democracies has shown how activism still matters for
representation. This book contributes to this literature by
analyzing the unique case of the Uruguayan Frente Amplio (FA), the
only mass-organic, institutionalized leftist party in Latin
America. Using thick description, systematic process tracing, and
survey research, this case study highlights the value of an
organization-centered approach for understanding parties' role in
democracy. Within the FA, organizational rules grant activists a
significant voice, which imbues activists' participation with a
strong sense of efficacy. This book is an excellent resource for
scholars and students of Latin America and comparative politics who
are interested in political parties and the challenges confronting
new democracies.
