The proposed approach allows for evaluation and comparison of how party systems in multi-ethnic states process ethno-cultural claims and demands. Our method of content analysis of party programmatic texts provides adequate granularity by which to captu…

It examines the construction of a hybrid political regime in the most populous of post-Soviet de facto states, Transnistra. The paper analyzes secessionist elites’ strategies of maintai…
Clientelism and Political Recruitment in Democratic Transition

Prime ministers’ identity in semi‐presidential regimes
This article examines how presidential involvement in the cabinet formation process affects cabinet formation outcomes in the semi‐presidential regimes of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. It analyzes whether the formal distribution of appointment‐dismissal powers allows for the development of useful indicators for predicting a prime minister's location on the continuum between the ideal points of the president and the legislature. Firs…
Ruling with decrees
THERE IS A GENERAL UNDERSTANDING IN THE LITERATURE on post-communist transition of the importance of presidential decree making for explaining the nature of the political process and policy-making outcomes both in Russia and Ukraine. 1 At the same time, there have been very few studies dealing specifically with this aspect of presidential activity. Remington et al. 2 and Parrish 3 analysed how presidential decree-making powers were used in Russia…
