Inhalt: The course deals with a classic topic of Comparative Politics: the role of political parties in modern democracies and the challenges faced by party democracy. The subject is relevant in a twofold sense: because parties play a crucial role in making modern liberal-democracies work and democracies are changing and under stress from many viewpoints. Along the seminar’s path, the main features of party democracy and crucial pressures it is subject too will be addressed. Besides an introduction and a conclusion, the seminar will be structured in three parts: the features of party democracy; the deficits of party democracy, especially in terms of political representation and inclusion; as well as contemporary domestic and international challenges to party democracy. To name a few, the seminar will focus on salient issues of gender inequality, migrants’ representation, populism, technocracy, presidentialization, and climate change.
