												  The Mass Party Debate Peter A. LaveniaThe Mass Party Debate Peter A. LaVenia, Jr. P. LaVenia, Jr. Draft Political parties are a crucial, perhaps indispensable, aspect of modern representative government. Yet today parties occupy an odd space in the studies of democracy and democratic institutions conducted by political theory.1 Contemporary democratic theory is enmeshed in the question of what democracy is, but the legitimate function of political parties and their role in a democratic society is strangely absent from those discussions. Aggregative, agonistic, and deliberative models of democracy are deeply concerned with expressions of preference, adversarial conflict, and political will formation/justification, but generally from the perspective of the individual or at times the “group.” This is unsurprising given that democratic theory is deeply connected to the history of liberalism in the United States.2 But by relegating the core aspect of modern government – the mass party – to a footnote, democratic theory has removed itself from dialogue with the political world in favor of academic conversations that veer increasingly towards linguistics and philosophy. This has further widened the split between theory and the remainder of the discipline. Empirical political science has produced data and models of parties, party organizations, and party systems but without theory’s input has rarely asked deeper theoretical questions about the meaning of democracy and the place of parties within it. I maintain the mass political party, the possibilities and the problems it poses for democracy and representative government should be core research questions for democratic theory. Moreover, there was a period when liberal and socialist theorists grappled with these issues.
