Boundary problems in political organizations

Abstract

Considers why protest and/or third parties have such short political lives. Proposes that it is the boundary problems faced by third parties which constrain their ability to adapt and change. Argues that although third parties tend to be the agents of change, by adopting strategies of boundary maintenance they end up limiting their own growth.
