- Primary Field: Comparative Politics

- 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.
