Abstracts

The author distinguishes internal ( self-fi nancing ) and external ( direct and indirect ) models of political party funding. Following an analysis, he concludes that public funds currently are, and must remain, the main source of political party funding. Public funds are used to pay for current operations and the reimbursement of election campaign expenses. The parties are also use their own sources of funding, not only membership fees. In many countries, an important role is played in this respect by donations, however, the problem arises of whether they can come only from individuals or the legal persons. It is, therefore, reasonable to conclude that the dominant contemporary model of political party funding is a mixed model.
