The question of how political parties are, and ought to be,
regulated has assumed an increased importance in recent years, both
within the scholarly community and among policy-makers and
politicians as the state assumes an increasingly active role in the
management of, and control over, their behaviour and organisation
This book concentrates on the regulation of political parties in
the EU post-communist democracies, and on Bulgaria, Croatia, the
Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland,
Slovakia, Slovenia and Romania, in particular. In analysing the
various dimensions of party regulation, it builds on the main
premises derived from the neo-institutionalist literature in
political science, concerning the ways in which the (formal and
informal) rules and procedures may influence, constrain or
determine the behaviour of political actors. In doing so, it
provides a comprehensive overview of the regulation of Eastern
European political parties provided by leading experts in the field
and casts theoretical and empirical light on the manner in which
the constitutional and legal regulation of party organizations and
finances have had an impact (or not) on the consolidation of party
politics in post-communist Europe since 1989. This text will be of
key interest to scholars and students of Political Parties and
Behaviour, East European and Post-Communist Politics and
Comparative Politics.

This collection brings together some of the most significant and
influential work by leading comparativist Peter Mair (1951-2011).
The selection ranges from considerations on the relevance of
concept formation to the study of party systems and party
organisations; and from reflections on the democratic legitimacy of
the European Union to the future of party democracy. Including
frequently cited papers alongside lesser-known work, the writings
collected in this volume attest to the broad scope and depth of
Mair's insights into comparative party politics, and the changing
realities of party government. As such, they form an important and
enduring contribution to the study of politics, and a fitting
tribute to an inspirational and much-missed figure in the global
political science community. Edited and introduced by Ingrid van
Biezen, with an intellectual portrait of Peter Mair by Stefano
Bartolini and Hans Daalder.
