The Communist Successor Parties of Central and Eastern Europe
After providing a theoretical overview and discussions of study methodology, Bozoki (political science, Central European U., Hungary) and Ishiyama (political science, Truman State U.) present separate examinations of the development of those parties that are the prime inheritors of personnel and resources from the former ruling parties of Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Romania, Yugoslavia, Lithuania, and Russia. After the single-country case studies, a series of seven comparative case studies are presented, focusing on such issues as organization and ideology, party consolidation, party system institutionalization, cleavage structure, and organizational strength.

Party Transformations in European Democracies
Political parties regularly change and adapt in response to ever-changing circumstances. Until now these changes have frequently prompted both scholars and the media to suggest a whole new type of political party, and over time the number of models and types has proliferated to the point of confusion, contradiction, and a loss of explanatory power. In this sophisticated yet accessible study, André Krouwel rejects this mélange of models as inadequate. He utilizes a wide range of data sources to analyze the ideological, organizational, and electoral change undergone by more than one hundred European parties in fifteen different countries, from Scandinavia to the Iberian Peninsula, between 1945 and 2010. The result is one of the most comprehensive empirically grounded studies to date of the genesis, development, and transformation of political parties in advanced democratic states.
