Cleavages, Parties, and Voters : Studies from Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Romania Hardback
by Georgi Karasimeonov, Kay Lawson, Andrea Rommele
Part of the Political Parties in Context series
Hardback
Description
This collection of essays summarizes one of the most fascinating developments of contemporary history: the peaceful revolution of the Central European nations from a long period of authoritarian regimes to Western democracy.
It looks at the pre-Communist history of political parties and then examines the extent to which party politics has changed in the post-Cold War world. After reviewing the various theories of cleavage and considering the interrelationships among cleavages, parties, and voters, 15 essays by indigenous scholars provide general historical background and identify specific new cleavages in each nation, and trace the activities of the more important parties in each nation.
Voter response to the new political situation and parties is analyzed.
