The role of money in politics is an issue of daily debate in old and new democracies alike. The ways that parties get access to money can influence the outcome of elections, determine the relationship between party leaders and members, affect the number of women elected and condition the level of public trust as a whole.

This CD-ROM contains all International IDEA publications on the topic, including:

• The Handbook on Funding of Political Parties and Elections Campaign, a global study on the strengths and weaknesses of different national political finance laws and regulations.
   
• The Spanish-language book De Las Normas a Las Buenas Prácticas [From Norms to Good Practices], which presents the latest in regulations and practices on political parties and electoral campaigns in Latin America.
• The Delicate Balance between Political Equity and Freedom of Expression, which deals with political party and campaign finance in Canada and the United States.
• From Grassroots to the Airwaves, a study on the finances of political parties and campaigns in the Caribbean.

The CD-ROM contains a matrix of political finance laws and regulations in 111 countries. The most common features of such laws and regulations are bans (mainly on sources of funding), limits (mainly on expenditure), disclosure (to provide transparency) and public funding provisions.
