All rights reserved. Party Linkages and Economic Policy: An Examination of Indira Gandhi’s India∗ Charles Robert Hankla Abstract We know from observation that some democracies intervene deeply in their domestic economies while others adopt a more laissez faire approach. Can we explain these differences solely with ideology, or are other political influences also at work? I argue in this paper that elected leaders sometimes opt for hefty economic regulation purely to generate sources of patronage that can be used to maintain their political positions. Leaders are most tempted to take this approach, I con- tend, when their political parties are not stably linked to sources of electoral support.

Political Order and Political Decay THE POLITICAL GAP The most important political distinction among countries con­ i cerns not their form of government but their degree of govern­ ment. The differences between democracy and dictatorship are less i than the differences between those countries whose politics em­ , bodies consensus, community, legitimacy, organization, effective­ ness, stability, and those countries whose politics is deficient in these qualities. Communist totalitarian states and Western liberal .states both belong generally in the category of effective rather than debile political systems. The United States, Great Britain, and the Soviet Union have different forms of government, but in all three systems the government governs.

POSSONY Professor of International Politics Georgetown University Chicago • HENRY REGNERY COMPANY • 1953 Copyright 1953 HENRY REGNERY COMPANY Chicago, Illinois Charts by Les Rosenzweig Manufactured in the United States of America Preface LEPURPOSE of this book is to present the soviet pattern of conquest. The method of this book is to trace the development of the com­ munist doctrine of conflict management . A synthesis of the bolshevik "science of victory" concludes the volume. Communist techniques of usurpation and expansion represent the culmination of a co-ordinated effort by several generations of skilled revolutionaries and soldiers. These methods, which reflect the politi­ cal, social, and military experience of previous conquerors, are based upon elaborate studies in the humanities and social sciences as well as upon extensive pragmatic tests. So far, communist conflict management-poorly imitated by the nazis-has stood the test of victory as well as that of defeat and catastrophe. The writer submits that the successful soviet encroach­ ment on the free world is due largely to the operational know-how of the communists. Marxian communism has been an important political movement since 1848.

Such a re-orientation in turn is in part due to the radical social and political transformations in this era of total wars and revolutions. Because as Aristotle knew all too well, and peaceful periods in history all too often tried to forget, the social sciences are disciplines of "ethics", spelling out man's deep involvements and demanding decisions at critical turning points of history.

In this paper the problem is attacked from a sociological and behavioral standpoint, by present- ing a number of hypotheses concerning some social requisites for democracy, and by discussing some of the data available to test these hypotheses. In its concern with conditions-values, social institutions, historical events-external to the political system itself which sustain different general types of political systems, the paper moves outside the generally recognized province of political sociology.

  • Species of Political Parties: a New Typology
    PARTY POLITICS VOL 9. No.2 pp. 167–199 Copyright © 2003 SAGE Publications London Thousand Oaks New Delhi SPECIES OF POLITICAL PARTIES A New Typology Richard Gunther and Larry Diamond ABSTRACT While the literature already includes a large number of party typologies, they are increasingly incapable of capturing the great diversity of party types that have emerged worldwide in recent decades, largely because most typologies were based upon West European parties as they existed in the late nineteenth through mid-twentieth centuries. Some new party types have been advanced, but in an ad hoc manner and on the basis of widely varying and often inconsistent criteria. This article is an effort to set many of the commonly used conceptions of parties into a coherent framework, and to delineate new party types whenever the existing models are incapable of capturing important aspects of contemporary parties. We classify each of 15 ‘species’ of party into its proper ‘genus’ on the basis of three criteria: (1) the nature of the party’s organization (thick/thin, elite-based or mass-based, etc.); (2) the programmatic orien- tation of the party (ideological, particularistic-clientele-oriented, etc.); and (3) tolerant and pluralistic (or democratic) versus proto-hegemonic (or anti-system). While this typology lacks parsimony, we believe that it captures more accurately the diversity of the parties as they exist in the contemporary democratic world, and is more conducive to hypothesis- testing and theory-building than others. KEY WORDS party organization party programmes party systems party types For nearly a century, political scientists have developed typologies and models of political parties in an effort to capture the essential features of the partisan organizations that were the objects of their analysis.
