The Models for, and Sources of, Funding Political Parties

Summary/Abstract: The author distinguishes internal ( self-fi nancing ) and external ( direct and indirect ) models of politicalparty funding. Following an analysis, he concludes that public funds currently are, and mustremain, the main source of political party funding. Public funds are used to pay for current operationsand the reimbursement of election campaign expenses. The parties are also use their own sourcesof funding, not only membership fees. In many countries, an important role is played in this respectby donations, however, the problem arises of whether they can come only from individuals orthe legal persons. It is, therefore, reasonable to conclude that the dominant contemporary model ofpolitical party funding is a mixed model.
