"This book explores the new types of political organization that emerged in Western
Europe and the United States during the nineteenth century, from popular meetings
to single-issue organizations and political parties. The development of these has
often been used to demonstrate a movement towards democratic representation or political
institutionalization. This volume challenges the idea that the development of 'democracy'
is a story of rise and progress at all. It is rather a story of continuous but never
completely satisfying attempts of interpreting the rule of the people. Taking the
perspective of nineteenth-century organizers as its point of departure, this study
shows that contemporaries hardly distinguished between petitioning, meeting and association.
The attraction of organizing was that it promised representation, accountability and
popular participation. Only in the twentieth century did parties reliable partners
for the state in averting revolution, managing the unpredictable effects of universal
suffrage, and reforming society. This collection analyzes them in their earliest stage,
as just one of several types of civil society organizations, that did not differ that
much from each other. The promise of organization, and the experiments that resulted
from it, deeply impacted modern politics."
