  • Democracy Beyond Parties
    Center for the Study of Democracy (University of California, Irvine) Year Paper - Democracy Beyond Parties Peter Mair Leiden University, The Netherlands This paper is posted at the eScholarship Repository, University of California. http://repositories.cdlib.org/csd/05-06 Copyright c 2005 by the author. Democracy Beyond Parties Abstract This paper is concerned primarily with the way in which the changing char- acter of political parties impacts upon their standing, legitimacy, and effective- ness. We see an emerging notion of democracy that is being steadily stripped of its popular component–a notion of democracy without a demos. As I try to show in this paper, much of this has to do with the failings of political parties. I am not suggesting that there has been a wholesale failure of parties; rather, I am seeking to draw attention to an ongoing process in which there are party failings, and in which democracy itself tends to adapt and change to these fail- ings. This process then provokes its own momentum, in which parties become steadily weaker, and in which democracy becomes even more stripped down. CSD Center for the Study of Democracy An Organized Research Unit University of California, Irvine www.democ.uci.edu This paper derives from a wider project on the politics of popular democracy, and is concerned primarily with the way in which the changing character of political parties impacts upon their standing, legitimacy, and effectiveness.1 The argument that is developed here owes much to that originally advanced by E.E. Schattschneider in The Semi-Sovereign People (1960) and to his contention that control over political decision-making sometimes lay beyond the reach of the ordinary citizen.

This magazine contains lots of news about our graduates, where they are and what they are doing. It also aims to keep you informed on developments at your university. In October 2006, the university launched the Gateway Project – a major international architecture competition involving the redevelopment of some 10 hectares around the main entrance of the Belfield campus. The project challenged architects to create a defining structural feature for UCD to serve both as an internationally recognisable landmark and also meet extensive functional requirements. It is to comprise academic, cultural, leisure and business facilities and it marks the start of a 15-year Development Plan for a sustainable, healthy and living campus. Against this backdrop, another important episode of UCD history is playing out. Earlsfort Terrace has been sold to the State to facilitate the redevelopment of the National Concert Hall. UCD can now complete the move to Belfield and deliver on the vision set out by Michael Tierney, President of the university in the 1960s. As we say farewell to Earlsfort Terrace, I am reminded of the origins of that building, which for 124 years played such a central role in UCD life.

    Fifth Meeting - 5pm on 10th July 2018 Private Dining Room, Leinster House In attendance: Chair Senator Michael McDowell SC, Senator Alice Mary Higgins, Senator Fintan Warfield, Senator Gabrielle McFadden, Senator Grace O’Sullivan, Senator Ivana Bacik, Senator Jerry Buttimer, Senator Maria Byrne, Senator Paddy Burke, Secretariat, Department of the Taoiseach: Síle de Búrca, Elizabeth Lyne Invited Experts: Franchise Section DHPLG (Fiona Quinn, Barry Ryan, Mairead Ryan), Dr. Maurice Manning, Mr. Joe O’Toole Apologies Dr. Brian Hunt, Jack Chambers TD, Senator Ned O'Sullivan, Senator Niall Ó Donnghaile, Shane Cassells TD, Shane Ross TD, Tommy Broughan TD Minutes 1. Minutes from 4th meeting agreed with 1 minor amendment. 2. The Chair introduced the invited experts: Franchise Section DHPLG, Dr Manning and Mr. O’Toole. 3. The Franchise Section discussed work underway on electoral reform including the forthcoming referendum on presidential elections and the Programme for Government commitment on the establishment of an Electoral Commission. While it was acknowledged that the role of the Franchise section on Seanad Elections is limited, it was noted there is strong potential for cross-over with the Group’s work. It was advised there is considerable benefit to ensuring proposals developed by the Group are transferable and modular to the other proposed electoral reforms. 4. It was agreed by all present that the Group’s final recommendations and legislation should be produced in alignment with the Franchise Section’s work. With this in mind, the Chair will ask Brian Hunt to draft a modular bill that could be enacted in parts. 5. Both Dr Manning and Mr O’Toole contributed their expertise and experience throughout discussions, particularly in respect of discussion on voluntary registration processes, the security of online voting versus postal voting, and implementation timeframes.

  • The Decline in Party Membership Across Europe Means That Political Parties Need to Reconsider How They Engage with the Electorate
    The decline in party membership across Europe means that political parties need to reconsider how they engage with the electorate. blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2013/05/06/decline-in-party-membership-europe-ingrid-van-biezen/ 06/05/2013 Is party membership still an important part of European political systems? Ingrid van Biezen outlines results from a study, co-authored with Peter Mair and Thomas Poguntke, of party membership rates in 27 European democracies. She notes that party membership levels vary significantly between European countries, with Austria and Cyprus containing the highest levels as a percentage of national electorates. Despite this variation, numbers are declining in almost all of the countries studied, which may mean that parties have to reconsider the forms of organisation appropriate to politics in the 21st century. At the beginning of the twenty-first century, political parties in European democracies have clearly lost the capacity to engage citizens in the way they once did. There is scarcely any other indicator relating to mass politics in Europe that reveals such a strong and consistent trend as that which we see with respect to the dramatic decline of party membership. Figure 1, below, shows party membership as a percentage of national electorates in 27 European democracies. On average only around 4.7 per cent of the national electorates are members of a political party today. There is of course considerable variation between countries, with peaks for Austria and Cyprus, for example, where around 17 per cent of the electorates are still affiliated with a political party. At the other extreme, in countries such as Latvia and Poland the level of membership does not even reach 1 per cent.

  • The Decline of Membership-Based Politics
    Themed section article Party Politics 2014, Vol. 20(2) 205–216 ª The Author(s) 2014 The decline of membership-based politics Reprints and permission: sagepub.co.uk/journalsPermissions.nav DOI: 10.1177/1354068813519969 ppq.sagepub.com Ingrid van Biezen Leiden University, The Netherlands Thomas Poguntke Heinrich-Heine-University D¨usseldorf,Germany Abstract In one of his last publications, Peter Mair documented how party membership had declined substantially in virtually all European democracies. As his collaborators on this piece, it seems pertinent that we take these findings as a point of departure and discuss what they mean for our understanding of party democracy. After all, the collapse of membership figures calls into question one of the central elements of our conceptualization of representative democracy, namely that it is based on voluntary political participation within political parties. All authoritative typologies of political parties consider the role of members to be one of their defining elements, although the cartel party most clearly envisages the marginalization of party members by professional party politicians. The traditional organizational allies of political parties (e.g. trade unions, organized religion) are subject to similar processes of erosion. In this article, we review the evidence of the social anchorage of political parties and discuss how political parties and party democracy can survive in an age where amateur politicians are becoming an increasingly rare species and parties are being transformed into organizational vehicles for those to whom politics is a profession rather than a vocation. Keywords collateral organizations, linkage, organized interest, party membership, political participation Introduction and society at large (Katz, 1990; Katz and Mair, 1995: 18).

We would also like to thank all the very many members of the ESB, both current and retired, who went to great trouble to assist us in our research. We are particularly grateful to the Chairman, Professor Charles Dillon, the Chief Executive, Mr P.J. Moriarty, the Secretary, Mr J.F. Williams, and the late J.J. Kelly, Chief Executive, 1970-1981. We would like especially to acknowledge the help of the late Patrick McGilligan, who not only gave generously of his time, but allowed us free access to his papers which are now in the UCD archives.
