Scholars of post-communist politics often argue that parties in new
democracies lack strong organizations sizable membership, local
presence, and professional management because they don't need them
to win elections and they may hinder a party's flexibility and
efficiency in office. Post-Communist Democracies and Party
Organization explains why some political parties are better able
than others to establish themselves in new democracies and why some
excel at staying unified in parliament, whereas others remain
dominated by individuals. Focusing on the democratic transitions in
post-communist Europe from 1990 to 2010, Margit Tavits demonstrates
that the successful establishment of a political party in a new
democracy crucially depends on the strength of its organization.
Yet not all parties invest in organization development. Tavits
finds that when parties recognize the potential of organization
building, it is often the result of pragmatic professional leaders
and particularly competitive, even hostile, electoral environments.
This book uses data from ten post-communist democracies, including
detailed analysis of parties in the Czech Republic, Estonia,
Hungary, and Poland.
