Baskická národní strana mezi elitní, masovou a catch-all stranou: příspěvek ke konceptualizaci stranických typů
Basque National Party Between Elite, Mass and Catch-all Party: Contribution to the Party Types Conceptualization

Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on Basque National Party (EAJ–PNV), the most significant party in the Basque political system and historically the most visible national party in the Basque Country. EAJ–PNV has more than one hundred years of history. Without hesitation we can say that the party’s characteristics have been transformed many times. I will classify EAJ–PNV according to party models based on André Krouwel's approach who works with four dimensions of party models: the genetic, electoral, ideological, and organizational dimensions. I will show the changes of EAJ–PNV through its history. Additionally, I will demonstrate how we can analyze the party at a particular point of its history and dimension. I will show that we can think about development of EAJ–PNV as an elite caucus, mass party and catch-all party as well.
