Who benefits from deep economic crises: the left, the right or neither? On the basis of evidence from elections in 1929–1933 and 2008–2013 in all states that were democracies in both periods, it is argued in this article that the electoral consequences of the Great Depression and the Great Recession were surprisingly similar: in both periods, right‐wing parties were at first more successful than left‐wing parties, although this effect only lasted for a few years. The manner in which a crisis develops over time should be taken into account when examining the effects of deep economic downturns on the electoral fortunes of the left and the right.

“…Mečiar's party and its allies saw their share of the vote and seats drop in the parliamentary election of 1998 (Nohlen andStöver 2010, 1747). The coalition of forces opposed to him, split across four different parties and party coalitions, won almost 60% of the vote and 80 of the 150 seats in the parliament and were thus able to form a new government under Mikuláš Dzurinda.…”

Parties, Civil Society, and the Deterrence of Democratic Defection

The third wave of democratization has given way to a reverse wave of autocratization. A critical question is what can be done to prevent democratic breakdowns and make democracy endure. A large body of historical-narrative and small-N comparative scholarship has suggested that an active mobilized civil society and institutionalized political parties can be mobilized to protect democracy from authoritarian takeovers. We provide the first rigorous set of empirical analyses to test this argument using data from the Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) project for the period from 1900 to 2010. We find that both exert a robust, independent, and substantial effect on the survival of democracies. These findings have important policy implications for the international community.

“…Med drugim je za konec procesa ponovne sovjetizacije identitete beloruske države za dan neodvisnosti vsilil praznovanje 3. julija 1944, ko je Rdeča armada osvobodila Minsk. 80 A najdrznejši korak je daleč presegal celo Jelcinovo, Kučmovo in Putinovo domišljijo. Predsedniku namreč ni prišlo na misel, da bi novo dvodomno ureditev legitimiral z novimi parlamentarnimi volitvami.…”

Category: 1.01 Original scientific paper Language: Original in Slovene (Abstract in Slovene and English, Summary in English) Key words: history of Ukraine, history of Belarus, party systems, political parties, Yulia Tymoshenko, Rukh movement, Alyaksandr Lukashenka, Communist parties in post-Soviet countries, politics of the post-Soviet environments Synopsis: The development of respective party systems in Ukraine and Belarus immediately before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union could hardly be more different. In Ukraine a solid party system was slow to emerge. Different historical experiences and cultural features in various parts of the country as well as strong linking of political groupings to particular personalities or rather economic power groups prevented formation of stable parties with firm base of support in all regions of Ukraine. The divide between east and west, established already in 1994 and reinforced during the presidential election in 2004, has remained the main feature of Ukrainian politics until today. Belarus, on the other hand, can be seen as a country where political parties exert the weakest influence in all Europe. Animosity towards party politics has been rooted in Soviet traditions, but it has also been systematically encouraged by the president Alyaksandr Lukashenka's regime.
