УТИЦАЈ ПОЛИТИЧКИХ СТРАНАКА НА РАЗВОЈ ПОЛИТИЧКЕ ПАРТИЦИПАЦИЈЕ
INFLUENCE OF POLITICAL PARTIES ON DEVELOPMENT OF POLITICAL PARTICIPATION

Summary/Abstract: Organization and activity of modern political parties rest on accentuated division on party elite and mass of members. In order to preserve its privileged social position, party-political elite, as a social group that is bearer of political power, obstructs self-activity and efficient participation in political processes of political parties' members as well as non-partisans. Development of political participation is possible if social role of political parties is going to be changed. For this few conditions would be fulfilled: profound crisis of social system or its particular subsystems; development of new political consciousness which leads to self-activity of political subjects; new forms of organization, such as social movements, that would be organized and led in participatory and unbureaucratic manner which would contribute to democratization of political parties and decrease of elite's power.
