The aim of this paper is to analyse the organizational model of one of the most successful European radical left parties, the Greek Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA). Our goal is to analyse SYRIZA’s organizational transition from the electoral arena to the government (2015). Our main finding is that SYRIZA started as a socially-oriented organization led by an oligarchic dominant coalition and converted itself into a political party, characterized by a prevailing role of the party in public office/party government. Both the institutional environment and the party organization’s first configuration have had an impact on this change.

This chapter examines the role that political parties play in the working of democracy. Political parties are among the major actors in democratic politics. Whether or not in power as the result of victory in free and fair elections, the governments of most countries have effectively been in the hands of party leaders. When governments were not in the hands of party leaders, most often because party government was interrupted by a military takeover. The chapter first considers various definitions of a political party before tracing the origins of political parties. It then describes the functions of parties and the ways in which parties are organized, regulated, and financed. It concludes with an analysis of the role of parties in the stabilization of democracy in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, as well as challenges confronting parties in the new millennium.

Comprehensive Study

The problem of regional underdevelopment, particularly in tribal India, has long been recognized and more than one political party has campaigned on this issue. The Indian constitution and state and central government development plans have included special clauses aimed at assisting those groups, the tribals or adivasis, who are most affected by the problem. Reports have been commissioned and investigations conducted, but rarely have these ended in constructive or relevant action. The work of anthropologists over a number of generations since the 1920s has perhaps done most to tell us of the real depth of the problem as it has affected central India. Foremost amongst them was W. V. Grigson, the aboriginal tribes enquiry officer of the government of the Central Provinces and Berar, whose 1944 report stands as the most comprehensive study available of the condition of the tribal peoples of this region at the end of the colonial period.

ABSTRACT A country that implements the system as mentioned earlier is more towards an authoritarian system of government which aims to dominate and dominate the power of the state towards the people. Democracy cannot survive from such a closed state. In a basic concept of democracy, there is a fundamental principle, namely the principle of sovereignty of the people who run the government.Political communication is one of the many roles played by political parties in various available arrangements. The political party is required to communicate knowledge, issues and political thoughts.Constitutionally, the Government adopts a Presidential System in which the ministers in the cabinet are responsible to the president. But in practice the SBY-JK administration is more of a Parliamentary System. Keywords: political parties, democracy, SBY government

None of the countries in the world is ‘corruption free country’. Despite the efforts of every country to curb the menace of corruption, the affected countries failed to contain corruption to the level of zero. It becomes a serious threat and challenge to most democratic countries of the world.

In Mizoram; for more than a decade, People’s Right to Information and Development Implementing Society of Mizoram (PRISM) involved in fighting against corruption.

Efficiency in governance, changing the political system and corruption free society are the main objectives of PRISM.

<p><em>Corruption is a crime against humanity which is classified as an extraordinary crime. The reform movement that took place in 1998 was motivated by public distrust of the ruling government at that time which was thought to be full of collusion, corruption and nepotism (KKN). After the government in power at that time fell, it was followed by a reformation government. One of the agendas of the reform government is the Eradication of Collusion, Corruption and Nepotism (KKN). Various efforts have been made by the government in preventing and eradicating corruption but corruption is still growing. In the midst of rampant corruption committed by public officials, who in fact mostly come from Political Party cadres, it is only natural for political parties (Parpol) to take responsibility and play a role in anti-corruption measures. Through this paper the author tries to look at the factors behind public officials committing acts of corruption, most of which are thought to come from political party cadres (parpol) and see the role of political parties in the prevention and eradication of corruption.</em></p><p><em>From the above discussion, it can be concluded that all efforts and actions through various approaches have been made by law enforcement officials to prevent and eradicate corruption that has been running for years in this country. The responsibility of political parties (parpol) can be started from the recruitment of party cadres before being distributed to various public positions in the government. Political parties are also responsible for cadres who are involved in criminal acts of corruption by not obstructing law enforcers in the investigation and investigation process carried out.</em><strong></strong></p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Political parties, prevention and eradication of corruption.</p><p> </p>

Abstract Debates on gay and lesbian advocacy in the Netherlands have often revolved around the role of the political culture of pillarisation in facilitating or hindering the gay and lesbian (GL) social movement. Pillarisation ended, however, just as the GL movement was beginning to gain momentum. In this article, gay and lesbian advocacy is examined from 1986-1994, during which the government engaged in designing a national policy to combat anti-homosexual discrimination. After describing the transition from a political cultural of pillarisation to one of corporatism, I will investigate the extent to which corporatism was extended to the gay and lesbian social movement and structured relations between the government and the gay and lesbian social movement. Last, I will examine the ways in which a political culture of corporatism affected gay and lesbian advocacy. In extending corporatism to the GL social movement, the government created strong partners with whom policy could be negotiated and developed. Incorporation empowered some GL SMOs and secured their ‘place at the table’. Once incorporated into the formal political arena, the SMOs were able to achieve a number of policy advancements, but they also had to compete with much stronger players. Despite the strong position of some GL SMOs, and the COC in particular, some political party opposition to the GL movement resulted in the GL movement’s failure to achieve its most central goal.

Party organization thus defined includes factional organization as well as the administrative apparatus. This definition assumes a linkage between the electoral party and the party inside the government.

The societal concern for sustainable development has translated into corporate sustainability as a management idea, which has yet to be widely adopted. This chapter examines its adoption in family firms. With their transgenerational temporal orientation and long leadership tenures, combined with decision-making by a closely knit dominant coalition that can facilitate a shared vision and organizational control, family firms can be effective conduits for the diffusion and adoption of this management idea. While these characteristics increase the likelihood of adoption by family firms in general, the diffusion of corporate sustainability between family firms would differ depending on the firm’s engagement with the institutional environment and the timing within the family business lifecycle. An examination of the adoption of the idea of corporate sustainability in cases of three family firms offers lessons for diffusion in firms more broadly.

Abstract The paper deals with the issue of lobbying, defined as a democratic means of promoting interests. The text tries to find answers to the problems in the current economic theory. The basic links are defined by using a simple graphic model, which are further examined by the SWOT analysis. The result is the knowledge that the basic coordination mechanism is the market – the information market. The role of government lies above all in creating a favourable institutional environment that does not interfere with spontaneous market relations. However, there are certain situations that the government could or should regulate. These situations are described by three hypothetical scenarios – a society without lobbying, a society where lobbing exists, but it is not transparent, and a society where lobbing is transparent, leading to a final discussion of possible directions and ways of its regulation.

The Relationship

The difference of opinion between Islamic political party in Malaysia that has separated Muslims' votes in election in facing with the increasing non-Muslim’s parliamentary seats and their growing demands is one of the dispersions that are prohibited in Islam. Therefore, this article is aimed to produce methods of interaction in dealing with this phenomenon from Sunnah Nabawiyyah. The article collects and analyzes the data using a qualitative method. There are five methods of interaction identified; 1. It is demolishing the political hegemony using the hadith that requires justice and disallow oppression between the government and the civilian, 2. Prioritizing loyalty towards the religion rather than political party according to the hadith that stresses the loyalty to the Muslim, how to express loyalty to corrupted Muslim and none to non-Muslim, 3. Interaction with the Malay as a race that is lenient to Islam based on the hadith exhibit the difference of human behavior and how the prophet SAW react to a particular situation, 4. Did not structure a new political party since it will cause the dispersion according to the hadith that forbid the recitation of Al Quran if it causes fatal disagreement, 5. It is emphasizing on the role of neutral parties stemmed from the hadith that reconcile the relationship among humans, especially individuals that at variance for power.
