FROM ‘MODERN PRINCE’ TO ‘POST-MODERN PRINCE”: ON GRAMSCI’S THEORY OF THE POLITICAL PARTY

Abstract

This study intends to analyze Gramsci’s theory of the political party. Political parties are argued at two different levels by Gramsci. On the one hand, he takes political parties as the legal instruments of the liberal democratic system and as tools of organizing the hegemony of administrative class, on the other hand, he sees political parties as the formative power of the collective will that will transform the society to create a new one. Gramsci has formulated the theory of political parties in this second meaning as the creator of the collective will. In this context, the first part of this study concentrates on Gramsci’s analysis on the operation of modern liberal democracies and the role of political parties in this operation. And the second part is examining Gramsci’s theory on the problems of organization and operation of the political parties in the process of the creation of the transformative collective will. The last part of the study is an inquiry into the problem of transformative collective will. Gramsci formulates the problem of transformative collective will with the metaphor of “modern prince.” This study also looks the relationship between Gramsci’s ‘modern prince’ and the metaphor of ‘postmodern prince’ that is being debated in political theory.
