“…Cross-national research and in-depth individual case studies have shown that cartelisation and attempts by parties to control the state have not necessarily prevented the emergence of new parties and their successful competition. Rather, cartelisation may have even contributed to an increasing polarisation of the party system (Aucante and Dézé 2008;Krouwel 2012;Enroth and Hagevi 2018). Moreover, the cartel party model has been questioned from a theoretical perspective because of its underlying 'linear-evolutionary' assumption (e.g.…”

The Cartel Party Thesis: A Restatement

2009

We restate and clarify the idea of the “cartel party,” a concept that has found considerable traction in studies of parties throughout the democratic world, including those far from the original research site and data on which the cartel model was based. The cartel party thesis holds that political parties increasingly function like cartels, employing the resources of the state to limit political competition and ensure their own electoral success. The thesis has been subject to varied empirical testing and to substantial theoretical evaluation and criticism. Against this background, we look again at the cartel party thesis in order to clarify ambiguities in and misinterpretations of the original argument. We also suggest further refinements, specifications and extensions of the argument. Following a background review of the original thesis, we break it down into its core components, and then clarify the terms in which it makes sense to speak of cartelization and collusion. We then go on to explore some of the implications of the thesis for our understanding of contemporary democracies and patterns of party organization and party competition and we identify a possible agenda for future research in party scholarship.
