Perceptions of political party corruption and voting behaviour in Poland
Do perceptions of political party corruption play a significant role in vote choice? More specifically, is intention to vote for a specific party influenced by perceptions of corruption of that party, as well as by perceptions of the degree of corruption of competing parties? To determine whether perceptions of political party corruption matter at all for voters' preferences, we propose a party choice model in which we estimate the influence of p…

Fluid Party Systems, Electoral Rules and Accountability of Legislators in Emerging Democracies
Does the system of repeated parliamentary elections function as a mechanism of political control in new democracies with fluid party systems? Moreover, does electoral format affect the degree to which voters are able to hold legislators accountable for their performance in office? In addressing these questions, we use a new database on all legislative incumbents and all parliamentary elections that have taken place in Ukraine since 1994. Our find…
Electoral Control in New Democracies
How do fluid party systems that exist in many new democracies affect democratic accountability? To address this question, the authors analyze a new database of all legislative incumbents and all competitive elections that took place in Poland since 1991. They find that when district-level economic outcomes are bad, voters in that country punish legislators from a governing party and reward legislators from an opposition party. As a result, electo…
Inter-Party Mobility among Parliamentary Candidates in Post-Communist East Central Europe
The development of stable partisan commitments among political elites is crucial for party-system institutionalization in the new democracies of post-communist Europe. Little is known, however, about the partisan behavior of those who compete for national office. This study begins to fill this gap through an analysis of inter-party mobility among all candidates who ran for the lower house of parliament in two pairs of consecutive elections in Pol…
Dynamics of support for European integration in post‐communist Poland
This study examines the dynamics of citizen support for European integration in Poland. Using data from 1995 and 1998 surveys and from a three‐wave panel study, we find that, as in Western Europe, both utilitarian calculations of self‐interest and political considerations are equally important determinants of support for membership in the European Union. Moreover, between 1995 and 1998 there was considerable polarization of opinion along economic…
The Emergence of Career Politicians in Post‐Communist Democracies
Despite party system fluidity and high rates of electoral volatility in the first decade after the transition to democracy in Poland and the Czech Republic, career politicians are emerging. Using data on all parliamentary candidates in the last election before the fall of communism and in all elections since then, we show that, in both countries, parliamentary carryover rates have risen substantially, a growing number of incumbents are seeking re…
The Emergence of Career Politicians in Post-Communist Democracies
Postcommunist Elites and Democracy in Eastern Europe
Political Identities in the Initial Phase of Systemic Transformation in Poland
The basic premise of this article is that, contrary to the tabula rasa hypothesis, individuals in the new democracies of post-Communist Eastern Europe have been able to form meaningful political identities even under conditions of great fluidity and uncertainty. These identities are expressed through the pattern of voting choices that individuals make during successive elections. The authors based their analysis on a 1993 panel survey of a nation…
When Push Comes to Shove
Why did Czechoslovakia break up peacefully into the Czech and Slovak republics on January 1, 1993? Despite the fact that clear majorities of both ethnic populations favored living in some kind of c
Can Support for Democracy and the Market Be Learned in School? A Natural Experiment in Post‐Communist Poland
A new program in civic education was introduced in Poland in 1994 to foster support for democracy and a market economy among youth. This program was based on the active teaching/learning model of education, with frequent student participation in “democratic games” and ”market simulations.“ This paper focuses on a sample of students, ages 14 and 15, who participated in this program and contrasts them with students subjected to the traditional civi…
Systemic Transformation and the Salience of Class Structure in East Central Europe
Spain's Transition to Democracy
After the death of longtime dictator Generalissimo Franco in 1975, King Juan Carlos acted decisively to institute a dramatic change in Spanish politics. By appointing an unknown Christian democrat, Adolfo Suarez, as prime minister, the king paved the way for the transformation of Spain from an authoritarian regime to a liberal democracy. Central to this singular transition was the formulation of the new Spanish constitution, an unusual process of…

Strikes in Yugoslavia
In September, 1973, about 2,000 workers of the Zmaj factory in Belgrade went on strike.Politika, a Belgrade daily newspaper, reported that the director of the firm, surprised to see so many workers gathered in front of his office, believed (at first) that ‘they were protesting against the counter-revolutionary oppression in Chile’. He was shocked to discover soon after that the workers were not demonstrating in support of Allende but, instead, we…
Le Famiglie Politiche Nell'elettorato Europeo
Introduzione La recente elezione diretta del parlamento europeo ha acuito l'interesse di osservatori e studiosi nei confronti dell'emergente sistema partitico della comunità. Quale tipo di sistema finirà col prevalere dipende da diversi fattori tra i quali: il potere decisionale che l'assemblea avrà nel futuro, i temi di dibattito che verranno posti all'ordine del giorno, la forza dei diversi gruppi politici, la distanza tra gruppo e gruppo e la …
Candidate Evaluations by Men and Women
A widely accepted generalization in the social science literature is that women tend to personalize politics and politicians. The purpose of this article is twofold. The first is to determine whether an analysis of the available U.S. survey data from 1952 to 1976 tends to support the claims made about how women differ from men in their assessments of politicians. The second is to suggest alternative and more precise ways of conceptualizing both m…
Workers' Councils and Political Stratification
Many students of citizen participation claim that one solution to the problem of political inequality in liberal democracies lies in the establishment of direct participatory channels in decentralized socioeconomic and political institutions similar to those found in Yugoslavia. Others argue that the availability of participatory channels in the workplace leads to the domination of these channels by a technocratic elite. Still other students of p…
