Accountability and party competition in Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Accountability and party competition in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. - 502 p.

Political parties play an important independent role in the consolidation of new democracies by influencing the level of accountability among political institutions. After the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1992, relationships among institutions in newly-independent Slovakia and the Czech Republic diverged sharply. The Czech Republic moved rapidly toward democratic consolidation while Slovakia experienced repeated attacks on horizontal accountability by a majority coalition in parliament and its appointed government, delaying its attempts to join the European Union and NATO. Most observers explained the divergence as the result of differences in culture, society or economy, but these explanations failed to account for reversals in Slovak and Czech politics in the late 1990's and for evidence of stronger-than-expected similarities between the two countries. A more complete account of Slovak and Czech politics during the 1990's must look beyond the failed socio-economic and cultural explanations. Although parties in any country are products of the environment, the differences between Slovak and Czech parties show how institutions can transcend and even shape their surroundings. Two specific differences between Slovak and Czech parties account for the differences in horizontal accountability. First, a party in Slovakia achieved a concentration of political resources—size, organization, electoral appeals, and centralization—that had no counterpart in the Czech Republic. Second, the differences in the issue dimensions of Slovak and Czech political competition created a stable voting base for anti-accountability parties in Slovakia but not in the Czech Republic. This difference in competitive dimensions resulted directly from decisions by particular parties and only indirectly from the existence of underlying conflicts in Slovakia regarding the nation and national identity.
