Political Money and Party Organisation in Zambia
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 November 2008
Extract
It has long been recognised that political money is a critical variable affecting the organisation of mass parties. These are dependent on the collection of dues for their survival and vitality, for the payment of their officials, and for the fulfilment of the r^les they aspire to play within their communities. Yet the relationship between political money and party organisation has not been widely studied. In Africa, with one or two provocative exceptions, the field has been barely touched. The reasons for this hiatus are fairly obvious. Parties — and, perhaps, particularly those in Africa — are notoriously secretive about their finances, and even when figures are released, scholars treat them with often-justified suspicion.
