Abstract
The analysis of the party organization covers two different organizational levels: First, the structure of the party itself. This analytical level is mainly confined to the dominant parties UMNO and ANC themselves. Second, it is the co-operation of the ruling parties with other important actors within society. This level of analysis transcends the mere examination of the core party organization and scrutinizes the linkages with other organizations, concentrating mainly on the type of linked organization and the quality of its linkage. This two-tier approach renders possible a differentiated picture of the party organization as well as of its penetration into society.
