Measuring quality of subnational democracy: democratic competition and participation in Czech and Polish regions, 1998-2020

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The present article aims to contribute to a better understanding of quality of subnational (regional) democracy in post-communist Czech Republic and Poland. Following Dahlvs procedural definition of democracy, we focus on two theoretical constitutive dimensions of democracy &quot; participation and competition &quot;, and understand high-quality democracy as a type defined by a combination of high levels of both participation and competition. By analyzing all six regional elections since the establishment of self-governing regions in both the Czech Republic and Poland, we found that neither Czech nor Polish regions can be consistently classified between the four categories of quality of democracy defined, namely high-quality democracy, uncompetitive participatory democracy, competitive nonparticipatory democracy, and limited democracy. The substantial inter-electoral oscillation of quality of democracy types at the level of both countries as well as individual regions is primarily caused by a highly limited interelectoral stability of competitiveness, as opposed to highly stable participation levels.
