Summary/Abstract: The success of democratic order in post-communist countries depends on the balance of political parties, the equilibrium of electoral systems and the role played by the social capital in spreading the rules of democracy. This paper is focused on a quantitative-multivariate analyse of political and party dynamics in Eastern Europe. The main objective of this article is to underline the party dynamics and evolution in a comparative case study between Romania and Poland. We want to create a comprehensive image of election and party evolution in post-communist countries.
