Peut-il y avoir de la politique sans ancrage territorial, sans présence continue dans un espace restreint et sans lien durable entre acteurs politiques, groupes sociaux locaux, et les espaces où s'organisent la vie sociale et les intérêts collectifs ? Ce n'est pas parce qu'il y a une tendance à la déterritorialisation, comme l'attestent les cas de Silvio Berlusconi, Donald Trump ou Emmanuel Macron, qu'il y a déracinement de la politique ; il y a plutôt tension entre territorialisation de l'action politique et pratiques d'ancrage différenciées. La question de l'ancrage politique témoigne des tendances contradictoires qui affectent les activités politiques dans les démocraties contemporaines, entre affranchissement des contraintes inhérentes à une activité territorialisée et permanence des enracinements. Les formes individuelles d'incarnation et les instruments collectifs de l'ancrage donnent à voir sa fragilisation, mais montrent qu'il demeure une composante essentielle de la politique$c4e de couverture.

"The functioning of representative democracy crucially depends on political parties that mediate between citizens and the state. It is widely doubted, however, that contemporary parties can still perform this connective role. Taking seriously the ensuing challenges for representative democracy, this book advances a normative account of party reform, drawing on both democratic theory and political science scholarship on parties. Moving beyond purely descriptive or causal-analytical perspectives on party reform, the book clarifies on theoretical grounds why party reform is centrally important for the sustainability of established democracies, and what effective party reforms could look like in an age where most citizens look to parties with scepticism and distrust. In doing so, the book underlines in distinctive fashion why scholars and citizens should care about re-inventing and transforming political parties, resisting widespread tendencies of either declaring parties unreformable or theorising them out of the picture"--

"This book examines the role local party organizations play in the electoral process. It draws on dozens of in-person interviews with local party chairpersons, as well as findings from a national survey of these local elites. Part I of the book explores who leads local party organizations and what these organizations do. The findings demonstrate that these organizations play a critical role in converting citizens into politicians and supporting them as they navigate the campaign process. These efforts appear to pay dividends as candidates from a party tend to perform better in areas where the local party organization is active. Part II considers what local party chairpersons look for in a candidate, drawing on findings from an experiment included in the national survey of party chairs. The experiment asked chairs which of a pair of candidates they thought would be most likely to prevail in a primary in their area and varied an array of candidate characteristics, including their policy positions, family structures, and their purported ethnoracial identity and gender. The results offer novel insights into the attributes that elites who play a critical role in candidate recruitment see as enhancing (or degrading) an individual's electoral prospects. Throughout, the experimental evidence is bolstered by findings from the in-depth interviews with chairs"--

"When do opposition party leaders build pre-electoral alliances to compete against electoral autocrats? Through two pairs of case study comparisons in East and Southeast Asia-between the Philippines and South Korea in the late 1980s, and between Malaysia and Singapore from 1965 to 2020-Opposing Power argues that opposition elites' perceptions of regime vulnerability and mutual dependency shape their efforts to construct alliances. Multiple regime-debilitating events striking the incumbent within a short period of time can raise opposition expectations of impending victory, galvanizing efforts for inter-party coordination. Clear information about the relative strengths and weaknesses of opposition parties fosters recognition of their mutual dependency, inducing party leaders to coordinate towards joint victory. Drawing on a broad range of archival material and a wealth of fieldwork, Opposing Power illustrates how dueling opposition parties can sometimes become strange bedfellows."
