Today there is hardly any country that has a purely centralised political organisation. Decentralisation alone does not lead to more democracy, but it can promote the democratisation process.

The present publication of Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung is thought to offer an introduction to organisational structures and functions of political parties as well as to depict their place within a democratic society.
