University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, Indiana
Ph.D. in Government and International Studies, August 1992 to May 2000

Primary Field: Comparative Politics
Secondary Field: Political Theory
Dissertation Title: Accountability and Party Competition in Slovakia and the Czech Republic
Abstract: New democracies rely heavily on political party systems to compensate for the weakness of other institutions and restrain the concentration of political power. How well a party system can exert accountability depends on how political parties compete for public support. In Slovakia competition on national issues brought anti-democratic forces together and increased their power. In the Czech Republic competition on socio-economic issues dispersed such forces across the political spectrum.
