The party network approach in studies of political parties
Keywords:
Party Network, Expanded Party, Political Parties, Group Theory, Party CompositionAbstract
The article seeks to expose the origins and elucidate the postulates of the Party Network approach in the study of political parties. Contrary to the Rational Choice theory and emerging in the American academy for its explanatory variables when dealing with the current party polarization in the United States, this emerging approach contributes to new understandings and new perspectives in the studies on political parties, especially in what concerns to party composition, organization, and dynamics.
