Das Parteienrecht und der Strukturwandel im Parteiensystem

Both party systems have undergone structural changes in order to meet the changing social, political, economic and medial conditions. Foroud Shirvani points out the legal implications of these developments and analyzes the function of law in the structural changes of a party system.
