Three principal dilemmas are faced by political parties: (1) in aiming to achieve participation in government, whether to act opportunistically or programatically; (2) in deciding on its degree of cohesiveness, whether to be centralized or decentralized; & (3) in projecting its public image, whether to aim at a specific (intensive) or general (extensive) audience. These factors exert a variable influence over the capability of political parties to achieve their goals. A combination of these factors gives rise to six paradigmatic types of political parties. The application of the theory to concrete political parties shows that they are not closed entities but subject to input from other systems, eg, transformations in society & the public, changes in the rules of the electoral game, coalition politics, etc. 5 Graphs.
