抽象。从迪韦尔热开始，研究党组织的学者们就没有系统地回答党员实际上为“群众”政党做些什么的问题。本文认为，更清楚地了解党为什么要有党员的特殊原因，可以帮助我们更好地解释特定党组织和党员个人之间关系的不断变化。这篇文章列出了一系列的论点，缔约方最有可能作出的成本和利益的成员资格。一个特定的政党强调哪种类型的论点，会影响到它希望吸引的成员类型，以及该党愿意提供什么来吸引这些成员。本文最后讨论了如何在这里开发的角度可以用来照亮最近的变化，在几个德国和英国的政党组织，变化，本身，可能会出现孤立的和毫无意义的组织细节。
Abstract. From Duverger onward, students of party organization have failed to address systematically the question of what party members actually do for ‘mass’ parties. This article argues that a clearer understanding of the particular reasons why parties want to have members can help us better interpret ongoing changes in relations between specific party organizations and individual party members. This article lists a wide range of arguments that parties are most likely to make concerning the costs and benefits of memberships. Which of these types of arguments a specific party highlights has implications about the types of members it is looking to attract, and about what the party will be willing to offer to attract such members. The article concludes with a discussion showing how the perspective developed here can be used to illuminate recent changes in several German and British political party organizations, changes which, by themselves, may appear to be isolated and meaningless organizational details.
