Abstract

This article focuses on the relation between political parties and the state in the Netherlands; a polity where the main actors in the political scene are not even mentioned in the Constitution, and where there is not a specific party act. The authors describe the origins and development of political parties in the Netherlands, and the question of its regulation, together with a general and comparative glimpse to other European democracies. The thesis is that legal regulation took a different route via international law — the ECHR and the CEDAW —, applied by the national courts.
