本文提出了一个全面、系统地衡量党内民主水平的新指标。拟议的指数是在与州级民主和之前衡量IPD的尝试进行比较的基础上设计的。它考察了五个方面：参与、代表性、竞争、反应能力和透明度。在其设计程序和民主理论的基础上，对每个维度的测量方式进行了解释和论证。通过对以色列政党内部民主水平的比较评价，论证了它在民主和政党政治分析中的应用和潜在贡献；并通过检验关于政党特征与其IPD水平之间关系的几个假设，以及IPD各维度之间的关系。
This article presents a new index for a comprehensive and systematic measurement of the level of intra-party democracy (IPD). The proposed index is designed on the basis of a comparison with state-level democracy and previous attempts to measure IPD. It examines five dimensions: participation, representation, competition, responsiveness and transparency. The way each dimension is measured is explained and justified on the basis of the procedure of its design and democratic theory. Its application and potential contribution to the analysis of democracy and party politics is demonstrated through its use to comparatively evaluate the level of internal democracy in political parties in Israel; and through examining several hypotheses concerning the relationship between party characteristics and their level of IPD and the relationship between the various dimensions of IPD.
