This book explores the impact of electoral rules on political party
development in Central and East Europe. It finds that 'high
district magnitude' proportional electoral systems encourage
centralised organisational development and campaigning - where
communication with voters is conducted primarily via mass, social
and digital media - while small electoral districts stimulate
grassroots campaigning. As a result, low magnitude electoral
systems are more likely to create an active role for party members,
stimulating membership recruitment. The book further examines how
parties organise and campaign on the ground. The analysis of
in-depth surveys and interviews with party elites in Estonia,
Lithuania and Slovakia sheds light on areas of party life that are
rarely examined, including party fundraising. Overall, the effects
of electoral systems on party organisation and campaigning reflect
patterns previously observed in Western Europe, demonstrating that
a degree of convergence has occurred.
