在对联盟政治的分析中，民主主要有两种定义；要么作为领导对成员意见的回应，要么作为反对的制度化。本文拒绝这两种定义，而是将民主定义为派系的生存。派系的生存可以解释为阻止工会执行人员摧毁它的压力。这些压力可分为12类：政治文化压力；政府的态度和行为；会员分布;工业设置;经济环境;技术;工会议价能力的来源；会员特征;成员的信念;反对派的专业知识和资源；领导的信念;和工会结构。非盟和欧盟截然不同的政治历史可以用不同的约束模式来解释。本文最后正式阐述了工会民主的相关特征。
Two main definitions of democracy have been used in the analysis of union politics; either as leadership responsiveness to membership opinion, or as the institutionalization of opposition. This paper rejects both definitions, instead defining democracy as the survival of faction. The survival of faction is explained by the pressures which prevent union Executives from destroying it. These pressures fall into twelve categories: political culture; government attitudes and behaviour; membership distribution; industrial setting; economic environment; technology; source of union bargaining power; membership characteristics; membership beliefs; opposition expertise and resources; leadership beliefs; and union structure. The contrasting political histories of the A.E.U. and the N.U.R. are explained by contrasting patterns of constraints. The paper concludes with a formal statement of the characteristics associated with union democracy.
