Über dieses Buch
The De Gruyter Handbook of Political Parties in the Global South provides a survey of the literature that illuminates a worrying blind spot in current research. While our knowledge of parties and parliamentary democracies in the West is rich and nuanced, the same cannot be said about parties in the Global South.
This handbook defines what constitutes a party in practice beyond the borders of the West and the confines of Western academia, particular in non-democratic states. It analyzes parties’ way of organizing and their relationship with society. With contributions by leading scholars in the field as well as up-and-coming scholars, this volume examines parties in the Global South from various perspectives and in the eyes of both the citizenry and the state.
- First handbook centered on political parties in the Global South
- Addresses key questions in the study of political parties
- Features contributions from leading scholars in the field
- A must-have resource for anyone studying political parties
