Associational Politics and Internal Democracy
Abstract
An attempt is made to describe how a voluntary association's internal
politics -- & especially the presence or absence of democracy in
its mode of operation -- are influenced by the goals & motives of
its members. A theoretical typology is proposed for the classification
of organizations, based on three basic cells -- utilitarian
associations, normative-utilitarian ones, & normative ones --
& on hybrids of these three basic types. 1 Figure, 17 References.
