This is the fate faced by all liberation movements that have won power at the ballot box. The Indian National Congress, which came to office after independence in 1947, is the prime example, but such loss of power has been experienced by other political parties in the Global South. Being voted out of office is not the only fate awaiting political parties. Popular disaffection, loss of loyalty, splits and schisms, factionalism, all affect parties and in turn inspire them to change and adapt, meet the challenges or try to avert the loss of support. Yet we know little about how and why parties change in the Global South. This book explores various dimensions of internal organisational reform by examining parties from around the South. Several chapters investigate the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa, one of several 'dominant parties' that have begun to lose their shine. Other chapters look at the Chinese Communist Party ; the Indian National Congress; the Workers'  Party (PT) in Brazil; UMNO in Malaysia; the Kuomintang (KMT) in Taiwan; and Mexico's PRI." -- Jacana Media website: http://jacana.bookslive.co.za/blog/2014/10/10/20aAfrican National Congress. 0aPolitical partiesxCross-cultural studies. 0aOne-party systemsxCross-cultural studies. 0aSouth AfricaxPolitics and governmenty21st century.1 aButler, Anthony,d1964-eeditor.423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1507/2014499373-d.html423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1507/2014499373-b.html
