Why so Few Loyalists to the Right? The Balkanization of the Right-Wing Party Space in Eastern Europe
Unformatted Document Text:  Why So Few Loyalists to the Right? The Balkanization of the Right-Wing Party Space in Eastern Europe Abstract This paper explores party system fragmentation in fourteen countries of Central and Eastern Europe. First, the analysis approaches the issue of fragmentation from a broader theoretical and comparative perspective. Second, the argument makes a novel claim that differences in patterns of fragmentation are less observable across countries and more visible within the party systems with the right and the center-right segments of the party space experiencing greater “balkanization” in the majority of the countries considered. Finally, the paper suggests the necessity to further explore institutionalization differences between the Left and the Right in Eastern Europe. Denitza A.

Why So Few Loyalists to the Right? The Balkanization of the
Right-Wing Party Space in Eastern Europe
Abstract
This paper explores party system fragmentation in fourteen countries of Central and
Eastern Europe. First, the analysis approaches the issue of fragmentation from a
broader theoretical and comparative perspective. Second, the argument makes a
novel claim that differences in patterns of fragmentation are less observable across
countries and more visible within the party systems with the right and the center-
right segments of the party space experiencing greater “balkanization” in the
majority of the countries considered. Finally, the paper suggests the necessity to
further explore institutionalization differences between the Left and the Right in
Eastern Europe.
