Full Paper Panel with Virtual Participation Participants: (Chair) Irfan Nooruddin, Georgetown University (Discussant) Niloufer Siddiqui, SUNY, University at Albany (Discussant) Ashutosh Varshney, Brown University Session Description: Political parties have, at the best of times, been described as indispensable to democracy. But in times of rising authoritarianism, institutional fragility, democratic backsliding, their roles as gatekeepers of democracy is even more pivotal. This panel examines how parties and grassroots organizations strategically navigate institutional frameworks to communicate, maintain relevance, consolidate power, connect with voters, and balance organizational mandates.

At @apsa.bsky.social next week, I want to invite everyone to our panel where I present one of two papers from new joint work with @feyaadallie.bsky.social on non-partisan CSOs as distinct intermediaries linking parties and voters. We have an excellent panel on electoral politics and inclusion!
