ИНСТИТУЦИОНАЛИЗАЦИЯ МНОГОПАРТИЙНЫХ СИСТЕМ В РЕСПУБЛИКАХ СЕВЕРНОГО КАВКАЗА В ПОСТСОВЕТСКИЙ ПЕРИОД

Abstract

The article analyzes the features of the formation of regional party systems in the republics of the North Caucasus since the advent of the multi-party system in modern Russia. It is noted that in the republican parliaments the influence of the institution of parties with the transition to the mandatory mixed system becomes stronger during the elections to regional legislative assemblies, which previously for the most part developed on a non-partisan basis. In the North Caucasus region, the process of party institutionalization took place rather quickly in the municipality, where the proportional system is very widespread. Inter-party agreements, or the dependence of the parties on the authorities, led to the establishment of compromise relations between the parties. In conclusion, it is concluded that the creation of the foundations of a multi-party system in the North Caucasus region is associated more with the diverse interests of elite clans and the flexible tactics of the ruling elite than with a clash of ideologies or social activity.
