It is not possible to understand the nature and functioning of
post-communist political parties without understanding their
relationship with the state. On the one hand, few parties in the
region would be able to survive and perform without state resources
as they lack strong roots within the wider society. On the other
hand, the relatively weak states inherited from the communist
period offer parties and elites opportunities for various forms of
rent-seeking within state institutions. But how can we understand
the relationship between parties and the state? How do the
party-state links work in practice and do they exhibit any
cross-national or cross-party variation? Are there any discernible
patterns of party-state linkages among the post-communist
democracies? Previously published as a special issue of The Journal
of Communist Studies and Transition Politics, this volume addresses
these questions. The party-state linkages are analyzed alongside
three analytical dimensions: state financing of parties, their
legal regulation, and party patronage within the state
institutions. The contributors bring together case studies of
post-communist countries, as well as cross-country comparative
analysis, each addressing at least one of these analytical
dimensions. Besides providing a framework within which studies of
party-state relationship can be undertaken, the book brings
comparative evidence on the extent and the manner in which parties
in the region use the state for their own purposes.
