The story of Party Politics (so far) - Emilie van Haute, Paul D Webb, David M Farrell, 2026 This symposium marks the 30th anniversary of Party Politics, a leading journal in the study of political parties and organizations. Over three decades, the fiel...

- Works published in Party Politics are increasingly co-authored, and feminisation in authorship has increased yet plateaued - confirming general trends in political science also underscored by Grossman et al (lnkd.in/eifg8WH8)

More about the journal's history:
journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

In 'The story of Party Politics (so far)', Paul Webb, @davidfarrell-ucd.bsky.social & I show that:
- Innovation can stem from rejection 💡 & leadership is key
- Journal editorship has deeply transformed
- Party scholars have increasingly focused on elections, populism, partisanship & polarisation
