"Political Parties and the Transition to Democracy" provides a
systematic comparison of the democratic transitions in both Eastern
and Southern Europe. Political Parties often play a crucial role in
the process of democratization and the establishment of new
parliamentary democracies. They often form as a result of
opposition to a previous authoritarian regime and their performance
during the transition to democracy can give a good indication as to
the nature of, and prospects for, the new democracy.
Four main themes concerning the role of parties are examined -
"coping with the past" (party identities and inheritances); the
formation and performance of new democratic political elites;
parties and alliances/coalitions; and their electoral behavior.
These themes are discussed in comparative perspective with the aid
of four case studies from both Southern and Eastern Europe. The
countries covered include Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Hungary,
Romania, Poland and Bulgaria.
Democratization is a very complex process because it operates on
many levels; By studying political parties this book focuses on an
area that links many of the levels. "Political Parties and the
Transition of Democracy" makes sense of democratization and the
role of parties in that process.
