Abstract

Katz & Mair’s (1995) seminal article on the cartel party model opened the first issue of Party Politics. The model was the trend Katz & Mair depicted, based upon data collected on West European and US parties in 1960-1990. The model has been discussed by several scholars since, but after almost three decades, it is time to take stock and access how the cartel party model has fared theoretically and empirically over the years. The panel welcomes parties analysing and discussing whether and how parties empirically take on traits from the cartel party model and beyond.
