“…While several studies referring to party systems also collect data on individual organizations, they are usually satisfied with aggregated quantitative data (cf. e.g., Mainwaring and Scully 1995, Bendel and Grotz 2001, Kuenzi and Lambright 2001. The quantitative bias is not confined to studies on party systems.…”

The institutionalization of political parties is said to be important for democratic development, but its measurement has remained a neglected area of research. We understand the institutionalization of political organizations as progress in four dimensions: roots in society, level of organization, autonomy, and coherence. On this basis we construct an Index of the Institutionalization of Parties (IIP), which we apply to 28 African political parties.The IIP uses extensive GIGA survey and fieldwork data. Initial results reveal a more differentiated degree of institutionalization than is commonly assumed. In addition to illustrating overall deficits in party institutionalization, the IIP highlights an astonishing variance between individual parties and-to a lesser extent-between national aggregates.

“…All the studies claiming to measure single parties and some studies at the system level mention the "level of organization" (Mainwaring 1998, Basedau 2007, Bendel and Grotz 2001cf. "complexity" in Huntington 1968 andDix 1992) as one criterion.…”

“…These are "autonomy" from too much external influence (mainly Huntington 1968, Dix 1992, Randall and Svåsand 2002; with regard to independence from the state, Bendel and Grotz 2001) and "roots in society." The latter indicates strong ties between the organization and the society it acts in (see Mainwaring 1998, Kuenzi and Lambright 2001, Randall and Svåsand 2002, Basedau 2007cf.…”

Generally speaking, the effects of international political party assistance are viewed negatively, or at least controversially. This study attributes some of the shortcomings of political party aid to the poor relationship between assistance providers and political science party research. They simply operate in different worlds. Party assistance lacks clear-cut concepts and strategies in practice, which makes it difficult to adequately evaluate it. At issue is its "standard method," with its "transformative" intention to change the party organization of the assistance receivers. At the same time, the scholarship on political parties can provide only limited help to assistance providers due to its own conceptual and methodological restrictions, such as the Western European bias underlying its major concepts, the predomi-
