Party Regulation in Central and Eastern Europe

Summary/Abstract: Parties are at the centre of political life for voters in diverse democracies as the venues for the expression of group concerns in the legislative game. According to some of the more influential political scientists, party system stability is essential to the proper functioning of a democracy. High levels of party system fragmentation are also considered detrimental to the proper functioning of democratic regimes. Fragmentation complicates coalition-building in the legislature and inhibits compromise on policy issues.
