解释政党制度变化的理论通常强调政治制度和社会分裂的作用。使用1967年至2004年印度15个州选举回报的面板数据集。该条规定，尽管政治体制相同，社会分裂相对稳定，但各国政党的实际数目在不同时期有很大差异。我们认为，一个迄今被忽视的维度，党组织的水平，对党的制度的性质有重大影响。当政治家的野心在党内受挫时，政党组织的水平对他们决定留下来、加入另一个政党或建立一个新政党的激励作用不同。为了检验这一理论，在广泛的定性研究的基础上开发了一个独特的党组织指标。我们发现，在印度各邦，政党组织更有组织，有效的政党数量和选举波动性都较低。
Theories that explain variations in party systems typically emphasize the role of political institutions and social cleavages. Using a panel dataset of election returns from 15 Indian states from 1967 to 2004. this article establishes considerable variation in the effective number of parties across states and over time, despite the same political institutions and relatively stable social cleavages. We argue that a hitherto ignored dimension, the level of party organization, has a significant impact on the nature of the party system. The level of party organization incentivizes politicians differently in terms of their decision to stay, join another party or float a new party, when their ambitions are thwarted within a party. To test this theory, a unique indicator of party organization is developed on the basis of extensive qualitative research. We find that in Indian states where parties are more organized, both the effective number of parties and electoral volatility are lower.
