Factional Politics and Democratization addresses the nature of
factionalism in parties that are created or rebuilt after a period
of dictatorship. It maintains that, while party leaders often view
factions in negative terms as divisive, factional behaviour can be
constructive and can contribute to the building of political
parties as viable electoral organizations. Factionalism as a
process involves fusion as well as fission. The volume brings
together detailed case studies from post-authoritarian Spain,
Greece and Portugal, from Turkey (where factionalism has hampered
democratization) and from the post-communist states of Poland,
Hungary, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic. Several chapters provide
comparative analysis which goes beyond a particular party or
national experience. Together with introductory and concluding
chapters, this combination of case studies and comparative analysis
provides pointers to what is generalizable and what is specific to
particular cases. Equally, the book offers a framework within which
further studies of party factionalism in the context of
democratization may be undertaken.
