Abstract
PASOK's political behaviour and governmental performance since returning to power in 1993 and up to the resignation of its leader, Andreas Papandreou, may be related to key traits of the Greek social formation and especially to recent trends in the party system and in Greek politics in general. PASOK's new relationship to the state and society has altered the party's organizational and ideological features and has brought it closer to the programmatic ‘realism’ that characterizes its European counterparts. For some time now, and particularly since the 1993 general election, PASOK has possessed the characteristics of a ‘cartel party’. Owing to PASOK's pivotal role in the Greek party system, the party has implanted these features in the system. However, these tendencies may prove short‐lived.
