Abstract

Durch die Entstehung personalisierter Parteiorganisationen ist eine Neudefinition des Konzepts der Parteieninstitutionalisierung (PI) nötig. Dieser Artikel bringt verschiedene Literaturstränge zusammen und schlägt einen neuen multidimensionalen Index der PI vor. PI ist als das Zusammenspiel von objektiven und internen Parteimerkmalen mit dem externen Kontext konzipiert. Die Anwendbarkeit des Index wird am Beispiel der italienischen Fünf-Sterne-Bewegung (5SB), einem prominenten Fall einer personalisierten Partei, getestet. Anhand der detaillierten Analyse der Parteigeschichte zeigen wir, dass die 5SB sich im Laufe der Zeit immer stärker institutionalisiert – was sich vor allem auf externe Ausprägungen der Parteieninstitutionalisierung bezieht, während interne Merkmale der Partei weniger involviert wurden. Die Ergebnisse des vorliegenden Beitrags zeigen, dass die Stabilisierung der internen Organisationsstrukturen zur Verbindung von Parteiführung und Parteibasis eine Herausforderung bleibt.
