INTRA-PARTY DEMOCRACY AS PRESENTED IN PARTY DOCUMENTS IN THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA
Abstract
Intra party democracy is of great importance for political parties worldwide for many reasons, perhaps one of the main significant one having to do with their capacities to build functional democracies in the contemporary world. There is a sufficient body of theoretical knowledge on intra party democracy in general. Besides this, much has been researched on intra party democracy around the world, but when it comes to the Republic of Macedonia researchers have barely screeched the surface of such a complex issue. In fact, this truth holds for the region as well, with certain exceptions. The paper strives to provide an analysis of intra party democracy in the Republic of Macedonia, based on the official regulatory frameworks of the parties in the country, that is their statutes, programs etc.. As will be noted thorough out the paper, the larger political parties in the Republic of Macedonia have similar organizational structures and many similarities when it comes to the authorizations of different party organs, but still the differences are expressed enough, thus making it possible to make a distinction between them based on official competencies, right and obligations.
