At the same time, coalitions can often be hard to form and difficult to hold together. This document presents the political considerations of coalition building. Political parties and organizations should use this paper as a tool for exploring the various issues that may arise when joining forces with others. While there are many types of coalitions the focus here is the development of coalitions for political purposes. The guide will not tell you how to form your coalition and will not serve as a rigid structure for all types of coalitions. Rather it will offer a series of pointed questions that political parties and organizations should think about as they consider joining in coalition with like minded parties and organizations. By thinking through the process and answering the Coalition Questions in the boxes as truthfully as possible you will be better prepared to work with other political actors to further your agenda and reach your political goals. The points that will be covered here include: • What is a coalition? • Why build a coalition? • Three Resources in Politics • Types of Coalitions • Levels of Participation in Political Coalitions • Advantages to Building or Joining A Coalition • Disadvantages to Building or Joining A Coalition • Successful Coalitions • Challenges Facing Coalitions • Questions to Consider • Maintaining the Coalition DEVELOPMENTS IN PARTY COMMUNICATIONS http://www.accessdemocracy.org/libra...ris_110105.pdf TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE ABOUT THE AUTHOR DEVELOPMENTS IN PARTY COMMUNICATIONS THE ROLE AND FUNCTION OF PARTIES CHANNELS OF PARTY COMMUNICATION The Context of Communication Types of Communication Channels Public Feedback The Main Types of Party-Communication Channels PEOPLE-INTENSIVE CAMPAIGNS BROADCASTING CAMPAIGNS INTERNET CAMPAIGNS THE IMPACT OF THESE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS COMMUNICATION POLICY Media Systems The Map of Media Systems Ownership and Structure of the Mass Media Party Campaign Organizations and Funding The Regulatory Framework SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS APPENDIX: MEASURES OF MEDIA FREEDOM, MEDIA ACCESS, AND THE COMMUNICATION INDEX Political Party Training Manual http://www.accessdemocracy.org/libra...ies_010106.pdf Content Section 1 A WINNING ORGANISATION 1 Building Political Parties 1 Building our Members 2 Sample Branch Agenda 3 Function Control Chart 4 Party Branch Structure 5 What is a Political Party? 6 Women's Contribution to Political Parties 7 Who Does what Within the Party? 8 Party Project: Why develop a Party Project? 9 Guidelines for Party Projects 11 Section 2 WHAT IS LOCAL GOVERNMENT 19 What is Local Government 19 Roles of Local Government Councils 20 Functions of Local Authorities 21 Local Politics Toolbox 23 Section 3 A WINNING MANIFESTO 25 Developing a Policy Platform 25 Community Priority Survey 28 Developing a Media Strategy 29 Preparing a Press Release 29 Preparing an Effective Political Speech 33 Strategies to persuade others 34 Section 4 A WINNING CAMPAIGN 36 Elements of a Successful Campaign 36 The Golden Rule 38 Small Campaign Organization 40 A Campaign Team and its Duties 42 Features of a Political Campaign 43 Four Phases of Effective Campaign 44 Campaign Activities 46 Handy Hints for Canvassers 47 Who are my Voters? 49 Planning an Issue Oriented Campaign 50 Winning Campaigns 51 SWOT: Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats 55 Message Development 57 Some ways to Deliver Your Message 62 Negotiations 63 Considerations for Contesting 64 Campaign Budgets 66 General Fundraising Rules 67 Ten Steps for Organising a Successful Public Forum 70 Checklist for Organizing a Public Forum 71 Section 5 BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER 72 Sample worksheets for campaigning 72 Campaign Plan Template 85
