On the Side of the Angels: An Appreciation of Parties and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rosenblum, Nong>anong>cy L., PUBLISHER: Princeton University Press, Political parties are the defining institutions of representative democracy ong>anong>d the darlings of political science. Their governing ong>anong>d electoral functions are among the chief concerns of the field. Yet most political theorists--including democratic theorists--ignore or disparage parties as grubby arenas of ambition, obstacles to meong>anong>ingful political participation ong>anong>d deliberation. "On the Side of the ong>Anong>gels" is a vigorous defense of the virtues of parties ong>anong>d partisong>anong>ship, ong>anong>d their worth as a subject for political theory. Nong>anong>cy Rosenblum's account moves between political theory ong>anong>d political science, ong>anong>d she uses resources from both fields to outline ong>anong> appreciation of parties ong>anong>d the moral distinctiveness of partisong>anong>ship. She draws from the history of political thought ong>anong>d identifies the main lines of opposition to parties, as well as the rare but significong>anong>t moments of appreciation. Rosenblum then sets forth her own theoretical appreciation of parties ong>anong>d partisong>anong>ship. She discusses the achievement of parties in regulating rivalries, chong>anong>neling political energies, ong>anong>d creating the lines of division that make pluralist politics meong>anong>ingful. She defends "partisong>anong>" as a political identity over the much-vaunted status of "independent," ong>anong>d she considers where contemporary democracies should draw the line in bong>anong>ning parties. "On the Side of the ong>Anong>gels" offers ong>anong> ethics of partisong>anong>ship that speaks to questions of centrism, extremism, ong>anong>d polarization in Americong>anong> party politics. By rescuing parties from their status as orphong>anong>s of political philosophy, Rosenblum fills a significong>anong>t void in political ong>anong>d democratic theory.
