This book evaluates well-established theories and trends in exiting party politics literature and relates them to the case of Turkey. It explores fundamental questions such as: Who controls party organizations and how does the locus of control change over time? What kinds of power struggles are observed inside a party and between whom? What do the present and past records of party membership imply for party organizations? What role do grassroots activists play in local and national politics? How do the ideological orientations of party members differ from party leaders and other voters? What types of social cleavages shape political parties and how do they change over time? What constitutes the relationship between the state and parties today? Who finances political parties and what does this imply about the quality of democracy? How and why do party systems change? The various chapters show that party politics in the Turkish context is significantly different to Western and new democracies. By highlighting the significant contribution the Turkish case can make to existing conceptual frameworks and theories, this book will be a valuable resource for anyone studying political parties, party systems and comparative politics, as well as Turkish politics.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aRegional studies2bicssc  aParty Politics; Turkey; Control; Grassroots; Democracy1 aDemirkol, Özhan4edt1 aDemirkol, Özhan4oth1 aMusil, Pelin4edt1 aMusil, Pelin4oth1 aSayarı, Sabri4oth0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/9616870zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c93231d93231
