WiSe 17/18: Political Parties
Christian Lammert
Comments
Political parties are at the center of the political process in modern democracies. They are best viewed as a combination of three different, yet interrelated, parts: the party organization – a legally recognized,
regulated association with officers and members the party in the
electorate – a coalition of voters united in loyalty to the same party
the party in government – a team of politicians who organize under the same label to contest and hold public office and to engage in policy-making when in office This course will study the role and behavior of each of these parts of the American parties, the interrelationships among them, and the competition among parties that defines the party system. It will pay particular attention to the American parties in recent electoral cycles; how they have changed from before; and what these changes imply for American politics in the future.
