Research at the intersection of party institutionalization (Harmel/Svasand/Mjelde 2019) and online communities (Weissenbach and Beyer 2022) emphasizes the role of values, routines, program and external perception for a political party to build stable communities. While we observe the decline of party membership, we also see the establishment of core groups of "active members" and the emergence of activists at the boundaries of political parties who bring a new understanding of (party) community to the world of party politics. This panel welcomes empirical and conceptual papers which address the interaction among (digital)activists and "traditional" party members and relate to research on online communities, networked and horizontal ways of getting engaged.
