In the past three decades radical right parties had the opportunity to directly influence
political developments from the highest public office in many post-communist Central and
Eastern European countries. Oliver Kossack provides the first comprehensive study on government
formation with radical right parties in this region. Even after the turn of the millennium
some distinct features of the post-communist context persist such as coalitions between
radical right and centre-left parties. In addition to original empirical insights the
time-sensitive approach of this study also advances the discussion about concepts and
methodological approaches within the discipline.
