What impact has EU membership had on party politics in Central and Eastern Europe? Although there is an emerging body of literature on the Europeanization of political parties, most of these accounts focus exclusively on Western Europe. Drawing on a range of qualitative and quantitative approaches including detailed studies of party programmes and manifestos, analysis of the media, semi-structured interviews and expert surveys, this collection provides not just conceptually informed, but also empirically rooted analyses of party politics in Central and Eastern Europe during the first four years of EU membership. In particular, the contributions assess the impact of EU membership on parties’ internal balance of power, the use of European issues in inter-party competition, the role of transnational party federations and the broader role the EU plays in party politics. The findings not only shed light on the impact of EU membership on party organization and programmes, they also inform broader debates concerning the dynamics, fluidity and motors of party politics in Central and Eastern Europe. This book was based on a special issue of Journal of Communist Studies and Transition Politics.

L’étude des partis politiques d’Europe centrale et orientale est d’autant plus intéressante que les tentatives de créer des organisations post-partisanes se sont multipliées après la chute des régimes communistes. La mouvance de la dissidence pensait pouvoir se passer des partis politiques souvent décriés et vilipendés. Or, force est de constater qu’ils se sont révélés indispensables dans le processus de démocratisation des pays d’Europe centrale et orientale. Cet ouvrage propose un premier bilan général de l’état des partis politiques de la région, dans une perspective résolument comparative. La première partie plante le décor : elle étudie l’implantation géographique des partis et les situe dans leur contexte historique et par rapport à la mouvance « anti-communiste ».La deuxième partie traite d’un des phénomènes les plus marquants de l’après-communisme : la reconversion des partis communistes, en Pologne, où elle a réussi, en Bulgarie, où elle reste incertaine. La troisième partie analyse en détail les clivages politiques autour desquels se structurent les partis politiques dans les PECQ. Quel système de parti émerge ? Quelles familles politique sont représentées ? Les théories classiques de la science politique sont-elles applicables à cette zone géographique ? Qu’en est-il du clivage gauche/droite ? Des partis qui défendent les intérêts des minorités nationales ? De quelle nature sont les clivages ? Quel est le poids de la contrainte externe ? L’analyse met en évidence les spécificités de chaque État, elle permet aussi de comparer les paysages politiques des anciennes « démocraties populaires » avec les situations prévalant en Europe occidentale. La dernière partie s’attache au processus de démocratisation à l’œuvre dans la région : elle précise le rôle qu’y jouent les partis politiques et les effets de l’adhésion aux organisations internationales. Dix ans après la chute du mur de Berlin, les paysages politiques s’organisent peu à peu en Europe centrale et orientale. Après une période de chaos marquée par la prolifération des partis politiques, des scissions innombrables, le morcellement des parlements, les États de la région traversent aujourd’hui une nouvelle phase. Des alternances démocratiques se sont produites, des organisations partisanes ont consolidé leur structure et leur organisation, même si dans l’ensemble le processus s’avère plus long et plus complexe qu’annoncé par nombre d’observateurs.

This book compares media and political systems in East-Central as well as in Western Europe in order to identify the reasons possibly responsible for the extensive and intensive party control over the media. This phenomenon is widely experienced in many of the former communist countries since the political transformation. The author argues that differences in media freedom and in the politicization of the news media are rooted in differences in party structures between old and new democracies, and, notably, the fact that young parties in the new members of the European Union are short of resources, which makes them more likely to take control of and to exploit media resources.
