Theory of party systems half a century later
Abstract
The article analyzes evolution of party systems in Western democracies in the light of the seminal theory of Martin Lipset and Stein Rokkan. Analysis of contemporary rightist radical parties leads the author to the conclusion that this phenomenon can be interpreted as a reaction of Western societies to the «crisis of postmodern world», yet it is unlikely to provoke authoritarian relapse like the inteewar period.
