The article aims to sketch out the main features of the political culture of the Radical Party (PR). This political culture is paradigmatic of a much broader phenomenon that has affected the politics of Western democracies since the 1970s: the critique of traditional parties in the name of a party model formed by spontaneous groupings of society; the extreme emphasis placed on individual choices in political action, and the programmatic tracing of the latter back to the former; and the call for a less ‘mediated’ relationship between citizens and institutions. Yet, this culture contained certain ingredients that would distance it from the populist forms of the twenty-first century. After grafting anti-authoritarianism onto its liberal matrix the PR identified the promotion of civil rights as the goal and battle for the transformation of the relationship between politics and the citizen. This transformation emphasised the sphere of individual freedom and the liberty to participate in community decisions, and thus implied a transformation of the ways and means of doing politics. In the late 1970s, the PR deepened its critique of parties and partitocracy and, at the same time, emphasised a supranational view of politics, eventually becoming a ‘transnational transparty’ party in 1989.

激进党文化带来的政治变革（1962-89）

本文旨在勾勒出激进党（PR）政治文化的主要特征。这种政治文化是自 20 世纪 70 年代以来影响西方民主政治的更广泛现象的典范：以社会自发团体形成的政党模式为名对传统政党的批判；极端强调政治行动中的个人选择，以及将后者追溯到前者的纲领性追踪；以及呼吁减少公民与机构之间的“中介”关系。然而，这种文化包含某些使其与二十一世纪的民粹主义形式区别开来的成分。在将反威权主义嫁接到其自由主义矩阵上之后，民联将促进公民权利视为转变政治与公民关系的目标和斗争。这种转变强调了个人自由和参与社区决策的自由，从而意味着政治方式和手段的转变。20世纪70年代末，民联加深了对政党和党派统治的批判，同时强调超国家的政治观，最终于1989年成为“跨国跨党派”政党。
