O aprimoramento da democracia interna partidária e o desenvolvimento de estruturas organizacionais democráticas dos partidos são tópicos de grande relevância nas democracias em consolidação dos Balcãs Ocidentais. O grau de democracia partidária interna depende dos seguintes fatores: compartilhamento de poder vertical; o papel e o status individual dos filiados; o papel do líder e da liderança partidária; a forma de eleição dos funcionários públicos; estruturas horizontais e a relação do partido com seus apoiadores e sociedade civil. Explorar-se-á tanto as razões e obstáculos mais óbvios para o desenvolvimento de uma vida partidária democrática quanto aqueles mais velados. Primeiramente, será feita uma análise da legislação pertinente à organização partidária e democracia interna dos partidos. Depois, uma tentativa de diferenciar o modelo de organização partidária através de suas três facetas: a base do partido, a gestão interna do partido, o partido no exercício de cargos públicos2. Ao final, serão tomadas conclusões e dadas recomendações para mudanças necessárias à democratização interna dos partidos. A democracia partidária interna, assim como o deus romano Jano, possui duas faces: uma oligárquica e autoritária e outra poliárquica e democrática. A primeira predomina em relação à segunda.

description The enhancement of internal party democracy and development of democratic organizational structures of political parties are burning issues in the consolidating democracies of Western Balkans. The degree of internal party democracy depends on: vertical power sharing; the role and the status of the individual member; the role of the leader and party leadership; way of election of public functionaries; horizontal structures and the relation of the party to its supporters and civil society. I explore both the obvious and the hidden reasons and obstacles to the development of a democratic party life. Firstly, I shall analyse the legislation concerning party organisation and internal party democracy. Then, I ll try to differentiate the model of party organisation through its three faces: the party on the ground, the party in the central office and the party in public office2. At the end, I ll draw conclusions and recommendations for changes needed for internal party democratisation. Internal party democracy is like Janus with two faces: one that is authoritarian and oligarchic and another- poliarchic and democratic. The first dominates over the second one. Worse, the oligarchic tendencies within internal party life are regularly transferred to the institutions, infecting them with partitocrazia.
