Expert Survey on Party Ideology in Former Socialist Countries, 1990-2017 EXPERT SURVEY ON PARTY IDEOLOGY IN FORMER SOCIALIST COUNTRIES, 1990-2017 Data set on ideology of ruling political parties and coalitions in former socialist states of Central and Eastern Europe. Data is retrieved from an expert survey which included a multinational panel of 273 experts on party systems of 16 countries. The survey was conducted online in June and July 2017 by Dejan Bursać, researcher at the Belgrade-based Institute for Political Studies, as a part of his doctoral research at the University of Belgrade. The respondents were asked to locate each party on a general left-right scale, considering all aspects of party policy and all relevant information about a party position. Ideology of each party is presented numerically in the one-dimensional policy space, ranging from 0 (extreme left) to 10 (extreme right), for every parliamentary term/government since the first multi-party elections after the fall of socialism (and in some cases, after achieving national independence) in all 16 countries of the sample. Average ideology of every government is presented as a weighted mean of member parties, in relation to their parliamentary strength. This document is accompanied by a separate excel database.

  • Politicka Misao 4 2017.Indd
    Croatian Political Science Review, Vol. 54, No. 4, 2017, pp. 61-84 61 Review Article Received: 15 May 2017 Gaining Political Power by Utilizing Opportunity Structures: An Analysis of the Conservative Religious-Political Movement in Croatia ANTONIJA PETRIČUŠIĆ, MATEJA ČEHULIĆ, DARIO ČEPO Chair of Sociology, Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb Summary This paper explores a connection between religion and politics in Croatia by analyzing the conservative civic initiative “In the Name of the Family” (U ime obitelji). It is a part of a broader religious-political movement, which emerged over the course of the last decade, that is connected to other international con- servative organizations and initiatives. They advocate for a decrease of secular influence on the family, oppose sexual and reproductive rights, and insist on the primacy of religious freedoms. The political nature of the movement mani- fests itself through multiple attempts to scrap the legislation and practices of both state and private institutions that are contradicting the value system of the Christian (Catholic) majority. The religious-political nexus of the movement is confirmed by its continuous involvement in policy-making, here manifested through the use of direct democracy institutes. Keywords: Religious-Political Movement, Contentious Politics, Opportunity Structure, Referendum, Same-Sex Marriage Introduction The referendum on the constitutional definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman,1 held in December 2013, was the first successful national refe- rendum in Croatia initiated by a citizens’ initiative. “In the Name of the Family” (U ime obitelji) argued that the traditional values of Croatian society must be pro- tected through enshrining the traditional, heteronormative, definition of family.
