Entwicklungstendenzen der westeuropäischen Parteiensysteme: eine quantitative Analyse

  • Chapter
Die Integration Europas

Part of the book series: Politische Vierteljahresschrift Sonderheft ((PVS))

Zusammenfassung

In der wissenschaftlichen Beschäftigung mit den Entwicklungstendenzen der westeuropäischen Parteiensysteme lassen sich zwei Phasen deutlich unterscheiden. Bis Ende der sechziger Jahre dominierten die Analysen, die die Persistenz der Parteiensysteme betonten und ihre Hauptaufgabe darin sahen, „the absence of change in a far from static period in political history“ (Rose/Urwin 1970: 295) zu erklären. Dies änderte sich in den siebziger Jahren, und seither ist die „destabilization of democratic party systems“ (Dalton/Beck/Flanagan 1984: 8) das beherrschende Thema. Beide Sichtweisen blieben jedoch nicht unwidersprochen. Die folgenden Ausführungen werden zeigen, daß eine differenzierende Betrachtungsweise notwendig ist, die weder Konstanz noch Wandel verabsolutiert, mit generellen, für ganz Westeuropa Gültigkeit beanspruchenden Aussagen zurückhaltend umgeht und Entwicklungstendenzen nicht monokausal zu erklären versucht.
