Political Parties and Party Competition in Multilevel States

Abstract

This panel invites theoretical and empirical contributions on political parties and party competition in federal or regionalised states. Multilevel government provides opportunities for the study of party organisation and party competition at different levels as well as for the analysis of similarities and differences between parties at the national and sub-state levels. Papers can address the organisation and mobilisation of parties, their impact on the territorial integrity of countries, as well as their influence on policies country-wide and across regions.
