Centre-Right Parties in Post-Communist East-Central Europe

Overview

This is the first book to cover the centre-right in post-communist Eastern Europe.

Research Focus

It makes an vital contribution to the broader research agenda on the Central and East European centre-right by focusing on one specific question: why strong and cohesive centre-right formations have developed in some post-communist states, but not others. It also delves into the attempts to develop centre-right parties after 1989 in four nations: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. The authors of these fresh case studies use a common analytical framework to analyse and provide fascinating insights into the varying levels of cohesion in centre-right parties across the region.

Publication Note

This volume was previously published as a special issue of the Journal of Communist Studies and Transition Politics.
