“…Al surgimiento del Cuarto Sistema de Partidos (1896Partidos ( -1932, tanto los demócratas como los republicanos habían perfeccionado la "maquinaria política" [machine politics] en las zonas urbanas de los Estados Unidos. Esta maquinaria fue el motor que impulsó tanto la aculturación como el progreso económico de los inmigrantes europeos (Dahl 1961;Henderson 1976;Ostrogorski 1902;Schattschneider 1942). En su mayor parte, las grandes maquinarias políticas urbanas no extendían los mismos beneficios a las personas de color durante el apogeo de su poder (Erie 1990;Grimshaw 1992;Pinderhughes 1987).…”

“…Regarding the first, political scientists have long proposed that parties play crucial roles in affecting the functioning and stability of democracies (see, e.g., Huntington, 1968;Schattschneider, 1942). More recent work has highlighted how parties shape economic and other policies, also those pertaining to public goods provision (Croissant & Volkel, 2012;Hicken, Kollman, & Simmons, 2016;Hicken & Simmons, 2008;Kitschelt, 2000;Kitschelt & Kselman, 2013;Levitsky, 1998;Randall & Svåsand, 2002).…”

“…The capacity of many states increased (Fukuyama, 2015), suffrage was expanded (also in countries where elections were far from free and fair; e.g., Miller, 2015) and new constitutions and various national-level institutions were developed (e.g., Elkins, 2010). Key in this process was the development of political parties competing and otherwise operating on the national arena, both in democratic (e.g., Mainwaring & Scully, 1995;Schattschneider, 1942) and many autocratic countries (e.g., Geddes, 1999;Magaloni, 2006).…”

We propose that the extent to which political parties are institutionalized shapes welfare state development. Institutionalized parties allow politicians to overcome coordination problems, avoid capture by special interests, and form stable linkages with broad social groups. These features both enable and incentivize politicians to pursue generous and universal welfare policies.Employing recent measures of party institutionalization and welfare law features, we test implications from our argument on data covering 169 countries and extending back to 1900.Even when accounting for country-and year-fixed effects and institutional features such as electoral system, regime type and state capacity, we find robust evidence that party institutionalization leads to more extensive, universal, and generous welfare arrangements. The relationship is more pronounced in democracies, but exists also in autocracies. When disaggregating party institutionalization and evaluating mechanisms, the linkages that institutionalized parties form with social groups constitute one important, but not the only relevant, factor.3

“…First, the nature of selection procedures offers one of the best instances to observe the distribution of power within the parties. After all, "he who can make the nominations is the owner of the party" (Schattschneider, 1942). As a result, authors often analyze these intraparty procedures to determine the true party elite or dominant faction at a given moment in time (Harmel & Janda, 1994).…”

The Choice of Spitzenkandidaten: A Comparative Analysis of the Europarties’ Selection Procedures

The selection of leading candidates by the political families, the so-called Spitzenkandidaten, is relatively groundbreaking as it is the first form of political recruitment organized at the EU level. The literature on candidate selection procedures has so far concentrated on national parties and their procedures. To our knowledge the analytical model has not yet been applied at the EU level. This article will fill this gap by examining the selection procedures of Europarties, more particularly for their EC presidency candidates, a novelty of the 2014 European Parliament elections. Based on the analysis of the procedures applied within the European People's Party (EPP), the Party of European Socialists (PES), the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Party (ALDE), the European Green Party (EGP), and the Party of the European Left (EL), one of the main findings of this article is that the procedures are largely copy-paste from the Europarties' internal procedures for selecting a president. This can largely be explained by the lack of time and experience their party elites had in the run-up to the 2014 elections. We therefore expect the Europarties to further professionalize their selection procedures and start the process earlier with more high profile politicians to stand as candidates in 2019.
