Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: There is no agreement in the comparative literature, however, on how partisanship comes to develop in a transitional country. For one thing, scholars differ widely on their interpretation of precisely what partisanship is, with some seeing it as a psychological attachment and others characterizing it as a more rational calculation of long-term party performance and capabilities. These rival theories have very different implications for how partisanship can be expected to emerge. Another difficulty has been in the nature of preexisting empirical studies of the subject. Not a single study of any country has surveyed the same individuals about their partisan attachments over the course of a major partisan realignment, not to mention a period of initial party-system formation (Green, Palmquist, and Schickler 2002: 194). The present paper represents a preliminary attempt to mobilize just such data, in the form of responses to an original multiwave panel survey of Russian citizens stretching from 1995 through 2004, to gain insight into exactly how partisanship develops and what it means in a transitional country. What we find raises more questions than answers and suggests, at a minimum, that models of partisanship derived from the experience of consolidated democracies are a poor fit with the politics of transitional polities like Russia�s.
