Indeks : p.189-199 p.187-188 This book provides a valuable and original addition to such literature by analysing what happens to a party when it enters government for the first time. Leading contributors assess how these parties, whether old or new, change when entering government by answering a set of questions: How and why has their role changed?; What are the consequences of change?; What explains the evolution from principled opposition to loyal opposition and eventually to participation in the executive?; Which characteristics of the parties can be held responsible?; Which characteristics of the parties' context should be brought into the picture?; What have been the effects of the status change on party organization, party ideology and electoral results?. It covers a wide range of European parties such as the Finnish Greens, rightwing parties (FN, Lega Nord and Alleanza Nazionale) and new parties in Italy, the Netherlands and Sweden to name a few.
