Pártok, verseny és alkalmazkodás. Egy változáselmélet alapvonalai
Parties, Competition and Accommodation. Outlines of a Theory of Change

Summary/Abstract: The author investigates the variable nature of parties and their adaptability. First he reviews the literature of the parties modification’s process. He states that there are many books and articles dealing with the parties’ static position and the investigation of their dinamic evolution neglected within political science. Secondly, the author tries to introduce the logic of party transformation. Parties permanently alter their external and internal environment and there is a dynamic interrelationship between them. In the third chapter he consideres the different sphere of adaptibility of the Hungarian parties, for example the organizations’, ideology and communicational adaptibility. He conludes that the Hungarian parties play a statiblizing role in the Hungarian political system and at the same time there are many instabilizing elements. Until nowadays Hungary has reached a quasi-two-party-system resulting in the stabilization of the preference of the Hungarian voters. This is a very positive change. Nevertheless, the process of changing of parties have serious effects on the Hungarian democratic model. There is an interaction between the variable characters of parties and the democratic model. In the author’ s view this process has positive impact on the democracy.
