Nella storia del pensiero occidentale l’idea di partito ha suscitato critiche, sospetti e condanne, nel timore che l’affermarsi di una fazione potesse distruggere la concordia dell’ordine politico. La svolta decisiva si ha al principio del Novecento, quando emergono le organizzazioni di massa destinate a segnare il secolo. È allora che i partiti cessano di essere considerati un fenomeno deteriore, per diventare le basi più salde e autentiche dello Stato, sia nei regimi autoritari sia nelle nuove democrazie parlamentari. Ma le ombre infauste non si diradano del tutto e nemmeno oggi cessano di avvolgere la sagoma del partito che, come testimonia la cronaca quotidiana, continua a incarnare agli occhi di molti l’immagine peggiore dell’agire politico. Ever since ancient times the idea of political parties has been plagued by a sinister reputation, and throughout the history of Western thought it has inspired criticism, suspicion, and censure. Until the end of the 19th century is was widely feared that factions could destroy the harmony underlying the political order. The decisive turning point arrived in the early 20th century with the advent of mass organizations: parties ceased to be considered targets of reproach and blameworthy phenomena, becoming the most solid and authentic foundation of the State in both authoritarian regimes and new parliamentary democracies. Yet inauspicious shadows continued to loom, and even now the idea of parties, as current events show, for many embodies the worst possible image of political affairs.

Movendo dalla recente letteratura sul cambiamento dei partiti nelle democrazie avanzate, l’articolo indaga empiricamente l’asserito distacco tra partiti e società dall’angolo visuale del declino della membership di partito, e cerca di individuarne possibili fattori esplicativi. In questa prospettiva, i dati raccolti e discussi dall’a. sono significativi su tre diversi piani. Sul piano empirico, il documentato declino dell’appartenenza ai partiti nel

The Functioning of Political Parties as Co-Founders of the Formation of the Political Elite and the Democratic StateDuring the years 1991-1992, according to the authors Albanian political parties coexist modern concepts of party politics and organization with the concepts of local tradition imposed by mentality, inheritance and local circumstances. Throughout 1992- 1998 we have an increase in the number of political parties, of which two were major in 1990 in 1996, we have 65 political parties, of which 12 had representation in the parliament of the time. This increase in the number of parties by authors has come as a result of problems and internal conflicts in political parties, leading to factions and the creation of new parties in both sides of the policy. At the end of the first decade of transition, the political parties SP and PD as the two most influential parties in Albanian political life, after holding their National Assemblies, and other parties began to look to improve the public image by reforming statutes and programs leaving room for greater transparency and greater critical space...
Party Politics
Power and the (il)legitimacy of political parties2014 •
This article presents an interpretation of the present malaise that afflicts the political party in established democracies. Today, parties are not only seen as inefficient or unscrupulous instruments, they are increasingly being labelled as illegitimate. The basic reason for this bad reputation lies in their detachment from society and their encroachment on the state. Parties tried to counteract the difficulties they faced in extracting resources from society (members, party identifiers, militants, money) by turning toward the state, which offered financial support, paid personnel, physical structures and patronage benefits. This shift reinvigorated the parties, which are now richer and more powerful, but it has further diminished citizens’ confidence in the parties themselves. In order to recover their dwindling legitimacy, parties have recently introduced changes, giving members more say in the decision-making process and in the selection of candidates and leaders. However, these...
Through the work of Pareto, Mosca, Michels and Ostrogorsky, this paper tries to examine the entent to which parties serve or annihilate democracy. We will first see how parties seem unavoidable, the critics tht are made to the, and finale how the answer to the question is two old, depending on the définition of democracy, which classical acceptance seems incomplete.
Parties as Governments in Eurasia, 1913–1991: Nationalism, Socialism, and Development
Introduction: Parties from Vanguards to Governments2022 •
Over the course of the twentieth century, a broad array of parties as organizations of a new type took over state functions and replaced state institutions on the territories of the former Ottoman, Qing, Russian, and Habsburg Empires. In the context of roughly simultaneous imperial and postimperial transformations, organizations such as the Committee for Union and Progress (CUP) in the Ottoman Empire (one-party regime since 1913), the Anfu Club in China (parliamentary majority since 1918), and the Bolshevik Party in Russia (in control of parts of the former empire since 1918), not only took over government power but merged with government itself. Disillusioned with the outcomes of previous constitutional and parliamentary reforms, these parties justified their takeovers with slogans and programs of controlled or supervised economic and social development. Inheriting the previous imperial diversities, they furthermore took over the role of mediators between the various social and ethnic groups inhabiting the respective territories. In this respect, the parties appropriated some of the functions which dynastic and then constitutional and parliamentary regimes had ostensibly failed to perform. In a significant counter-example, in spite of prominent aspirations, no one-party regime emerged in Japan, for there the constitutional monarchy had survived the empire's transformation to a major industrialized imperialist power. One-party regimes thrived on both sides of the Cold War and in some of the non-aligned states. Whereas several state socialist one-party regimes collapsed in 1989–1991, some of the communist parties have continued to rule, and new parties managed to monopolize political power in different Eurasian contexts.

Political disaffection is a reality faced by contemporary democracies. The erosion of political support, the decrease of political identity, and increasingly low voter turnout lead to reflections on the limits of representative democracy. Political parties are the institutions that are threatened by these sociopolitical phenomena, because their political legitimacy challenged. Thus, the compelling desire of citizens to govern by the people and for the people leads to other processes of collective mobilization. Our goal is to demonstrate that, facing political disaffection, social movements and interest groups carrying post-materialist values provide a form of political legitimacy. From a functionalist perspective, even if the political parties are weakened, these groups assist in the operation of the state.
