Why are some party systems more stable than\u00a0others? And what does this mean for the health and quality\u00a0of democracy? Drawing on the experiences of political parties in eleven countries from Central and Eastern Europe\u00a0in the three decades since the 1989 revolutions, this talk will\u00a0outline new tools for mapping and measuring party systems,\u00a0and provide conceptual frameworks to analyse the dynamics of party politics, particularly the birth and death of parties. In addition to highlighting the importance of agency and choice in explaining the fate of parties, the talk will underline the salience of the clean versus corrupt dimension of politics, the flow of voters in the new party subsystem, and emphasize the dimension of time and its role in shaping developments.\u00a0Moreover, the talk will consider whether the emergence of so many new parties is helping or hindering the illiberal slide in Central Europe.<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":20514,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":[],"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2021-04-21 15:30:00","event_end_date":"2021-04-21 17:00:00","event_speaker_name":"Tim Haughton, University of Birmingham","event_speaker_link":"","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"","event_street":"","event_location_link":"","event_zip_code":"","event_city":"","event_country":"LU"},"events-topic":[322],"events-type":[],"organisation":[186,154,233],"authorship":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Social Science Department Lecture Series: New Parties and Illiberalism in Central Europe and Beyond - University of Luxembourg<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Why do some parties live fast and die young, but others\u00a0endure?
