Factional Struggles' explores the dynamics of conflicts among ruling elites within cities, dynastic courts, rural areas and regional noble lineages during the early modern period. Building on case studies from France, Italy, the Empire and the Swiss Confederation, the essays collected by Mathieu Caesar in this volume highlight how factions were formed and how they shaped political society from the late Middle Ages. The authors have especially focused on how political and religious ideologies contributed to the formation of partisanship, the role of propaganda, and the significance and strategies of factional leaders. The volume shows how factions, despite the generally negative view of them held by theologians and jurists, were in practice accepted and used as political tools.

Drawing on theories of neo-institutionalism to show how institutions shape dissident behaviour, Boucek develops new ways of measuring factionalism and explains its effects on office tenure. In each of the four cases - from Britain, Canada, Italy and Japan - intra-party dynamics are analyzed through times series and rational choice tools.

This book addresses the nature of factionalism in parties that are created or rebuilt after a period of dictatorship. It maintains that, while party leaders often view factions in negative terms as divisive, factional behaviour can also be constructive. The volume brings together detailed case studies from post-authoritarian Spain, Greece and Portugal, from Turkey (where factionalism has hampered democratization) and from the post-communist states in Eastern Europe.

The T'ang factional struggle was not self-contained, nor independent of external circumstances. The activities of factions were interwoven with those of the military governors and the eunuchs, and each party could affect, or be affected by, others. Factionalism was not directly responsible for the fall of the T'ang empire, but too often its degenerating power which ravaged the central administration is under-estimated. This thesis attempts to bring to surface the undercurrents of factional struggle that prevailed in the former half of the ninth century. While each of the theories advanced in the past does subscribe to the promotion of the knowledge of the T'ang's factional struggle, a comprehensive understanding of the whole matter could best be achieved by making a study of the wide spectrum of causes and results covering the political, social, academic, historical and geographical aspects. By this thesis I also attempt to correct the common concept of two contending factions having identical set-ups, headed by Niu Seng-ju and Li Te-yu (Niu-Li) respectively. The political group led by the former and his associates had all the essential attributes of a faction; whereas the opposite camp was ascribed to the latter who appeared to be an isolated character throughout. T'ang's factional struggle roughly covered the period 820 - 850 A.D., which tallied with the reigns of Mu-tsung, Ching-tsung, Wen-tsung, Wu-tsung, and the early years of Hsuan-tsung. The first two were pleasure-seekers; the third, though pious in thinking, was irresolute; Wu-tsung co-operated flawlessly with the superior statesman Li Te-yu for over five years and left no room for opposition political factions; Hsuan-tsung, like his father Hsien-tsung, was able to master the court and purged it of factions by virtue of his strong character and shrewdness, particularly at a time when the factional leaders were either dead or ageing.

Ernst Ludwig, was not only cousin to Kaiser Wilhelm II, but also grandson to Queen Victoria and cousin and brother-in-law to Tsar Nicholas II. One of the most fascinating and complex figures of modern European history, his life offers us a prism through which to see the history of Germany in the first half of the twentieth-century and tells a very different story than the one we might expect. Ernst Ludwig was a prince who fought the forces of absolutism, war, revolution and fascism that, after his death in 1937, would destroy Germany. Andrew Vereker, who has had complete access to his papers, uses Ernst Ludwig's life as a framework to write a history of the liberal German counter-culture he represented.
