A Comparative Analysis Of Financing Parties And Elections In Croatia And Abroad

Summary/Abstract: Comparative politics has shown interest in the topic of financing political parties only recently. The reason for this is the fact a more systematic regulation of financing elections and parties – apart from Sweden where the process of regulation began in the 1960s – started only in the 1970s and 1980s. Namely, the expenses incurred by party activities in that period increased significantly everywhere, making the traditional sources of party financing such as membership dues, money raised at party rallies and so on, completely inadequate. The first direct consequence of this was a series of corruption scandals when private corporations and wealthy individuals donated money to political parties and especially to officials who were trying to get re-elected.
