This project aims to explain the attractiveness of newly formed political parties in Central and Eastern Europe. Over the past 20 years, many newly formed political parties have won parliamentary seats at the national level, while other political parties – new or old – have failed to secure electoral support.
This project aims to explain why some newly formed political parties are attractive to the electorate while others fail to secure electoral support.
The project proposes an analytical framework on three dimensions:
Which operates from both the perspective of the party (political supply) and the voters (political demand).
This is a project funded by the Romanian Executive Agency for Higher Education, Research, Development and Innovation Funding (UEFISCDI) with the number PN-IV-P1-PCE-2023-0070 for the period 2024-2027.
The units of analysis are political parties (new or old) that obtained at least 1% of the vote in national and European elections held during the time period covered by the project. There is at least one national election in each country and one European election (2024).
The project collects primary data from party election programmes, press reports, speeches by political elites, social media channels (Facebook and Twitter) and original surveys conducted on representative samples in these countries. The project uses mixed methods that combine quantitative and qualitative analysis.
