• Sommario/riassunto: The essays that make up Regulating Political Parties were first developed as part of an international symposium at Leiden University focusing on party law. Together, the contributions analyze the ; regulation of political parties within and beyond Europe from interdisciplinary and comparative perspectives. Addressing both conceptual issues and recent empirical findings, Regulating Political Parties is a valuable examination of an often-overlooked aspect of politics and will be useful for not only scholars, but also legal and political practitioners.
