Abstract
AbstractParty system in post-communist Poland was born in 1989, and since then, it has evolved significantly. This chapter provides an analysis of how Polish political parties functioned after 2001, which is preceded by an adumbration of the system’s development before that date. It uses the concept of institutionalisation to determine why some formations failed while others survived and became permanent features in the partisan competition. It also employs the classic models of political parties so as to place the analysis in a well-known and understood conceptual framework. The final part of the chapter is devoted to identifying entry barriers that new entities face when attempting to break into the Polish political market.KeywordsPolish party systemParty institutionalisationParty modelsEntry berriers to political market
