Breaking the Cycle of Exclusion in Political Party Development

Many citizens view them as inaccessible and unresponsive to their concerns.

Legislative Candidate Vetting Mechanisms in Latin American Political Parties
Few comparative studies exist on internal party candidate selection and vetting processes, resulting in a dearth of examples that political parties can draw from to establish and/or strengthen their internal review and selection mechanisms. This study aims to begin to fill this gap. The study provides an extensive literature review and case studies on how parties in Latin America have explored and implemented candidate vetting processes.
