party and social structure  

Definition(s)

  • Political parties are the main interlocutors between citizens and government in all modern democracies, making them a central concern for political scientists. In the first half of the twentieth century, the study of the relationship between society and political parties was minimal, given the prevailing view of parties as reflections of negative factionalism or the oligarchic expression of self-interested elites.
