Abstrakty

W artykule przeanalizowano wpływ dynamiki partii na zmienność liderów partii, argumentując, że można spodziewać się znacznych różnic w zakresie ideologii, siły parlamentu i zaangażowania w rządzenie. Autorzy twierdzą, że liderzy są bardziej skłonni do zmian, gdy ich partie przegrywają wybory lub odchodzą od rządu. Ponadto zbadano różnice w długości sprawowania przywództwa w odniesieniu do stopnia demokratycznej konsolidacji, na podstawie analizy doświadczeń z Bałkanów Zachodnich i krajów Grupy Wyszehradzkiej. Wyniki potwierdzają hipotezy dotyczące porażki wyborczej i odejścia od rządu, a także regionalnych różnic między demokracjami przejściowymi i bardziej skonsolidowanymi.(abstrakt oryginalny)

EN

This article is examining the effects of party dynamics on changeability of party leaders, arguing that significant differences can be expected with regard to ideology, parliamentary strength, and involvement in government. Authors claim that leaders are more prone to change, when their parties lose elections or depart from the government. Moreover, they explore variations in leadership longevity in relation to degree of democratic consolidation, based on the analysis of experience from the Western Balkans and Visegrad Group countries. Findings confirm the hypotheses regarding electoral failure and departure from government, as well as regional differences between transitional and more consolidated democracies.(original abstract)
