Parties and Party Systems in the Post-Yugoslav Area "In modern political systems, political parties represent an unavoidable mechanism in exercising power, creating and implementing public policies. Political parties are institutions without which it is difficult to imagine the functioning of a democratic political system. The role played by political parties is of crucial importance for the political systems of new democracies. The subject of research in this book is the parties and party systems of post-communist countries, which were created after the collapse of the SFRY and in which political parties were the most important subjects of change. Political parties and party systems represent two very important components in the functioning of the political system, raising democratic capacities and stability of the state and society. Their nature and importance give them an important place in the research of political processes. The specificity of post-communist countries lies primarily in the key change from a one-party to a multi-party system. The main bearers of changes and processes are also part of them, which significantly increases the importance of political parties and the systems they create. Despot Kovacevic's book is refreshing, innovative and encouraging for political and sociological research in the region for several reasons. It is based on a measure of theory and empirics, combining case studies and comparative perspectives, as well as institutional and sociostructural factors..." - Prof. Dr. Slavisa Orlovic.
