This is an updated and revised list of government parties and their ideological position that were first provided by WKB (2011). Therefore, countries that did not appear in WKB (2011) have no list of government parties in this update. Those countries include Bangladesh, Botswana, Czechoslovakia, Guyana, Jamaica, Namibia, Pakistan, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. For some countries in which new parties are frequently formed and/or political parties are frequently dissolved, we noted the year (and month) in which a political party was established. Note that this was done in order to facilitate our data collection, and therefore that information is not comprehensive. 2 Australia List of Governing Parties Australian Labor Party ALP Country Party

  • Political Incorporation and Political Extrusion: Party Politics and Social Forces in Postwar New York
    _________ C HAP T E R 6 ______---'__ Political Incorporation and Political Extrusion: Party Politics and Social Forces in Postwar New York THE MOVEMENT of new social forces into the political system is one of the central themes in the study of American political development on both the national and local levels. For example, Samuel P. Huntington has character­ ized the realignment of 1800 as marking "the ascendancy of the agrarian Republicans over the mercantile Federalists, 1860 the ascendancy of the industrializing North over the plantation South, and 1932 the ascendancy of the urban working class over the previously dominant business groups."! And the process of ethnic succession-the coming to power of Irish and German immigrants, followed by the Italians and Jews, and then by blacks and Hispanics- is a major focus of most analyses of the development of American urban politics. Most accounts of political incorporation, however, are based on an analy­ sis of only one face of a two-sided process. The process through which new social forces gain a secure position in American politics is simultaneously a process of political exclusion. This process involves not simply a conflict between the new group and established forces over whether or not the new­ comers will gain representation, but also a struggle over precisely who will assume leadership of the previously excluded group. Established political forces are not indifferent to the outcome of these leadership struggles, and the defeat of potential leaders who are regarded as unacceptable by estab­ lished forces is the price that emergent groups must pay to gain access to po\,ver.
