Party literature is largely focused on the rise and success of
new parties and their effects on party systems and older parties.
This book, on the other hand, provides a valuable and original
addition to such literature by analyzing what happens to a party
when it enters government for the first time.
Leading contributors assess how these parties, whether old or
new, change when entering government by answering a set of
questions:
- How and why has their role changed?
- What are the consequences of change?
- What explains the evolution from principled opposition to loyal
opposition and eventually to participation in the executive?
- Which characteristics of the parties can be held
responsible?
- Which characteristics of the parties context should be brought
into the picture?
- What have been the effects of the status change on party
organization, party ideology and electoral results?
Covering a wide range of European parties such as the Finish
Greens, right wing parties (FN, Lega Nord and Alleanza Nazionale)
and new parties in Italy, The Netherlands and Sweden to name a few;
this book will be of particular interest to scholars and students
concerned with party systems, political parties and comparative
politics.
