Thesis Title: Party System Institutionalization in Third Wave Democracies
About
Many East Asian, Latin American and East European countries emerged as newly democratized countries in the 1980s and 1990s but faced different outcomes in terms of party system institutionalization. While some developed strong political parties to represent citizen’s interests, others have weak organizations that only represent narrow interest groups or elites. I want to compare cases from both regions focusing primarily on the elements existing before the democratic breakdown (if any); the length and characteristics of the authoritarian rule, and the particular characteristics of the political system after the recovery of democracy. I expect that only after making clear distinctions between these elements, a more accurate theory of party system institutionalization will take place.
