Party Leaders in Eastern Europe (eBook, PDF)

Personality, Behavior and Consequences

Redaktion: Gherghina, Sergiu

Beschreibung

This book explores the relationship between the personality of political leaders, its interaction with top leadership positions and its impact on the respective parties' electoral performance and organization. It focuses on the less-investigated region of Eastern Europe and includes chapters on Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Georgia, Hungary, Poland, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Slovakia. Each chapter compares and contrasts two party leaders with at least two terms in office between 1991 and 2019. The book applies systematically a common theoretical and methodological framework across leaders and countries, thus providing rich empirical evidence.

Rezensionen

"The book is consistent and well-written throughout. ... Gherghina and his colleagues have produced a useful comparative work aimed to inspire more research and innovation in party and political leadership research, and not only in Eastern Europe. ... the book can serve incumbent and aspiring political professionals, too. For all these reasons, Party Leaders in Eastern Europe is a very welcome and highly timely contribution to the scrutiny of our political leaders." (Máté Mátyás, Europe-Asia Studies, August 20, 2021)
