  • Which Conservatism? the Identity of the Polish Law and Justice Party 1
    Which conservatism? The identity of the Polish Law and Justice party 1 Adam Folvarčný and Lubomír Kopeček Politics in Central Europe (ISSN: 1801-3422) Vol. 16, No. 1 DOI: 10.2478/pce-2020-0008 Abstract: This article deals with Poland’s Law and Justice (PiS), considered a conserva‑ tive party in the scholarly literature. Drawing largely on party manifestos, the article demonstrates the character, the specificities and the evolution of the party’s identity and ideology. A theoretical basis for the undertaking is provided by Klaus von Beyme’s con‑ cept of party families, Arend Lijphart’s seven ideological dimensions and classic texts on conservatism. The analysis finds that the most important components in PiS’s current identity are Catholicism itself and the great emphasis the party places on the role of the Catholic Church. Also important for the party’s identity are visions of a nation conceived on ethnic principle, a strong and active state able to form society with a national spirit, anti ‑communism and a negation of developments in Poland since 1989. A substantial role is played by the quasi ‑religiously conceived legacy of the party’s co ‑founder, Lech Kaczyński, who tragically perished in an aircraft crash. With its Catholic ‑nationalist profile, PiS is close to the Christian current within the conservative New Right, and to Polish National Democracy in the interwar period. Keywords: the Law and Justice party, PiS, Jarosław and Lech Kaczyński, Catholi‑ cism, nationalism, the Smolensk crash, anti ‑communism 1 This publication was written at Masaryk University with the support of the Specific University Research Grant provided by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic.

  • From Protest to Party the Transformation of Anti-Communist Opposition Movements in East-Central Europe
    From Protest to Party The Transformation of Anti-Communist Opposition Movements in East-Central Europe by Victor Gomez A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Victor Gomez 2014 ii From Protest to Party: The Transformation of Anti- Communist Opposition Movements in East-Central Europe Victor Gomez Doctor of Philosophy Department of Political Science University of Toronto 2014 Abstract Viable and stable political parties are a key element for the establishment of healthy democracies in post-authoritarian countries. In that sense, the study of why some countries have greater difficulties than others in this regard is an important gauge of the quality of democracy in various polities. My paper is based on a comparison of these issues in Poland and Hungary. Why did some of the anti-communist opposition movements spend years going through repeated rounds of fragmentation producing weak parties, while others were able to produce relatively stable parties early on in the transition to party-based competition? While the literature tends to attribute such differences to electoral systems or social cleavages, this paper argues that the historical regime divide between the former communist party and the former anti-communist opposition as well as the extent to which the ex-communist party was able to compete in the new system had a crucial impact on this question. The deeper the regime divide, the more difficult it proved for the anti-communist opposition movements to produce stable parties if the communist party was able to become an effective player in the new democratic system.
