Political Parties and the Winning of Office. Joseph A. Schlesinger
Party Integration and Party Organizational Strength
In this article, we consider the relationship of party organizational strength and state-national party integration. Specifically, we examine the thesis that national party organizations have made an important contribution to the strengthening of state party organizations. We test the hypothesis that state party organizational strength is a function of national party organization building efforts. Finally, we conclude by speculating on the implic…
Who Gave It? Who Got It: The Enforcement of Campaign Finance Laws in the States
This study examines the record of enforcement by state campaign finance agencies since their inception following Watergate. These boards and commissions exist in twenty-six states, although ten of them do not engage in substantial efforts to enforce the campaign finance laws. The remaining sixteen have established enforcement records that meet minimal standards, but only four have sought to administer substantial penalties and other civil remedie…
Whither the Local Parties: A Cross-Sectional and Longitudinal Analysis of the Strength of Party Organizations
The authors have earlier demonstrated that state and national party organizations have increased in strength in the last few decades. Here they assess the nature of change in the attributes of local party organizations. They find that local parties have not become less active and less organized over the past two decades. Most sustain a fairly high level of programmatic activity and a significant minority of them conduct some party-maintenance act…

National Party Rules and Delegate Selection in the Republican Party
The Democratic party's quadrennial exercises in reform of the delegate selection process have caused political scientists and journalists to focus their attention on the Democratic party and to ignore the character and impact of the Republican rules. While the Democrats have been going through major revisions of their rules every four years since the disastrous 1968 convention, the Republicans have followed a quite different strategy. They have s…
Trends in Party Organizational Strength, 1960-1980
The organizational strength, structural complexity, and program activities of American state party apparatuses have steadily been changing—for the most part growing—since 1960. Through interviews and mail questionnaires with current and former state chairpersons, executive directors, and other key leaders, information about these organizational attributes was obtained for various time points; comparisons of state-level party work patterns stresse…
Assessing Party Organizational Strength
Most research on the problem of change in the U.S. political party system relies on trends in electoral behavior to assess the condition of parties. Generally, the conclusions drawn have been pessimistic. But though voters are undeniably an important dimension of party, so too are party organizations. Inferences have been drawn concerning the relationship between electoral behavior and party organizations, but the data that would permit the deter…

Changes in State Party Organization 1960–1980: A Preliminary Report and Request for Data
We are engaged in a study of the current and past condition of party organizations in the United States. The research examines parties within an institutional framework and seeks to measure the strength of party organizations at the national, state, and local levels. But in order to compare parties over time it is necessary to have longitudinal data. The purpose of this note is to ask interested researchers to share with us documented data on sta…

Decision-Making Stimuli in the State Legislative Process
ECENT YEARS have seen a burst of effort by political scientists to close the research gap in the analysis of the dynamics of legislative action. Much of their effort has been directed toward a better understanding of the political decision-maker and the influences which shape his decisions. This study has been undertaken to ascertain what factors state legislators perceive as affecting the decisions which they make. These factors were isolated du…

Study of Voting Splits On City Councils in Los Angeles County
HE STUDY of municipal government has greatly accelerated in the past few years, but as yet little has been done to investigate the behavior of municipal councils and commissions. The large number of separately incorporated cities in the rather restricted area of one metropolitan county obviously presents ideal ground upon which to conduct such a study. This project was drafted, therefore, to determine the types of voting patterns that exist withi…
