Party Politics at Multiple Levels

Abstract

The theories on parties and party systems have originally been developed with the party at the level of the nation-state in mind. In the past few decades though – as a result of processes of decentralization and of European integration, more attention is paying paid to the way in which parties behave at different levels and who these levels (also inside parties) relate to each other. This panel will discuss papers that all try to understand political parties in a multi-level political environment.
