Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article investigates the influence of the two major “Europarties” – the European People’s Party and Party of European Socialists – on their Hungarian, Romanian, and Slovak partner parties from 1989 to 2012. Two research questions are examined: (1) In which way do Europarties influence their Central and Eastern European (CEE) partners?; and (2) What is the precise result of Europarty influence? These questions are answered by drawing on qualitative content analysis of 38 semi-structured interviews. The main finding is that due to strong Europarty influence, the CEE parties became more similar to the established West European parties regarding their strategic behaviour, programme, and intra-party democracy.
