Movements and Parties, Movements as Parties

Abstract

Some of the more vital forces in contemporary European democracy lie at the intersection of parties and movements. Practices of co-ordination between the two, or the transformation of one into the other, are to be seen in several countries alongside familiar patterns of mutual distrust and competition. This panel examines the nature of these relations more closely, asking what they tell us about the character of political representation in Europe today, as well as what they imply for the evolution of partisanship and movement activism. Both empirical and theoretical papers are welcome.
