It explores the coexistence of programmatic and clientelistic forms of party competition, offering a nuanced understanding of electoral dynamics in non-democratic contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuided by three research questions, the book investigates the extent of programmatic party competition, its emergence, and its coexistence with clientelistic practices. Using a multi-method research design and a range of primary data, it integrates programmatic and clientelistic frameworks to analyse party competition in democratic and non-democratic contexts. The book applies process tracing methodology to demonstrate how intra-party competition influences pre-election manifestos and expands an established behavioural model to better suit non-democratic settings. Readers gain a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of party competition in hybrid regimes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is intended for researchers and students studying electoral politics, party competition, coalition politics, and area studies, particularly those focusing on post-Soviet societies and the Caucasus. It is also valuable for scholars interested in hybrid regimes and non-democratic political systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47961070043287,"sku":"9781041141754","price":13345.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781041141754.webp?v=1782822582","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/party-competition-in-hybrid-regimes-the-case-study-of-post-soviet-georgia-9781041141754","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
