Following the two main criteria of intra-party democracy ? inclusiveness and decentralization ? three main categories of intra-party democracy are theoretically derived: members? rights, organizational structure and decision-making. On the basis of theoretical considerations further sub-categories and individual items are deduced from these main categories and put together into a comprehensive coding scheme. Furthermore, precise coding instructions are presented. Since it is the ultimate aim of this book to present an approach to measuring the level of intra-party democracy for any party statute and to express this in numerical terms, the final step is the quantification of the coded data and the calculation of a numeric measure of intra-party democracy. A numeric value of intra-party democracy can be calculated for any statute of any political party. Furthermore, empirical examples from Hungary, Slovakia and Romania are presented. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in political science. 606 $aPolitical party rules 606 $aDemocracy$zHungary 606 $aDemocracy$zSlovakia 606 $aDemocracy$zRomania 615 0$aPolitical party rules. 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a320 700 $aBerge$b Benjamin von dem$01764103 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438229903321 996 $aMeasuring intra-party democracy$94204832 997 $aUNINA
