Publication Type: Proceeding Abstract: Over the past several decades, political parties throughout the developed world have transformed their approach to election campaigning. This transformation manifests itself not only in campaign activities (market research, media management, internet campaigning, etc) but also in campaign organization. Specifically, campaign functions have increasingly been �outsourced�: transferred away from party organizations and their full-time staffs into the hands of individuals and firms outside the political parties. In thus re-organizing their campaigns, parties are also re-organizing themselves. This paper turns to economic theories of the �boundaries of the firm� to suggest a theory of the determinants of the �boundaries of party� � that is, a theory of the outsourced campaign. It draws on evidence from campaigns in Germany, Britain, and the United States in assessing the plausibility of its account.
