National Endowment for Democracy's International Forum for Democratic

Studies will shortly publish a book, "Political Parties and

Democracy," edited by Richard Gunther and Larry Diamond (Johns Hopkins

University Press: Washington, DC, forthcoming, November 2001).  This

book includes 13 articles written by scholars from around the world.

The authors analyze the changing character of parties and party

systems in postcommunist Europe, Latin America, and five individual

countries that have witnessed significant change: Italy, Japan,

Taiwan, India, and Turkey.  The book originated in a conference

organized by the International Forum.
