Resumen
- This article provides a framework through which factionalism might be examined and the circumstances of individual parties compared in multi-level contexts. We set out a model of the dimensions of factional organisation dependent on the tolerance of host parties towards dissent and their degree of vertical integration. The combination of both dimensions yields four different strategies: centralised, interlayered, multilayered and decentralised factionalism. Episodes of high factionalism can also act as a catalyst for the modification of party rules. The hypotheses developed are tested on four Spanish political parties which differ on the autonomy of regional branches and factions: the PP, the PSOE, IU, and the PNV.
