Abstract:

The development of post-communist party system is explained either by actorless, structural explanations or choice theoretic accounts focusing on the external actions of parties (linkage with voters, strategic interaction with other parties). Little attention has heretofore been paid to the international actions of parties or what we call the affiliation calculus of political actors. We try that the organizational weakness of post-communist parties make it crucial to focus on the internal, organizational choices of parties.
