Kierunki rozwoju systemów partyjnych w państwach postjugosłowiańskich

By analyzing the party systems in the post‑Yugoslav states by means of the effective number of parties index and the fractionalization index, it was possible to outline directions of future development and propose various scenarios of this development after the year 2010. The analyzed time span included the period from the early 1990s, which marked the rise of the first sovereign states (Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina) and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia up to the transformations of the 2000s, which saw the breakup of the “Third Yugoslavia” and the rise of the second group of independent states (Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo).
