Abstract

Rad adresira rastući trend uspjeha novih stranaka u državama jugoistočne Europe nakon ekonomske krize 2008. godine. Pritom se koristi teorijski okvir Allana Sikka i Seána Hanleya koji su skupini novih stranaka u postkomunističkim državama srednjoistočne i jugoistočne Europe pokušali dati zajednički nazivnik. Rad se pritom fokusira na Stranku modernoga centra (SMC), na čelu koje je Miro Cerar na prijevremenim izborima 2014.osvojio relativnu većinu i dobio mandat za sastavljanje vlade. Studijom slučaja želi se dobiti konkretniji uvid u uzroke osnivanja novih stranaka i razloge njihova neočekivanog uspjeha, pri čemu se upravo SMC izdvaja kao odstupajući slučaj, jer u bitno većem opsegu odgovara preuzetom teorijskom okviru novih stranaka. Pregled uzorka novih stranaka na području jugoistočne Europe kroz teorijski okvir novih stranaka potvrđuje tezu da Stranka modernog centra unatoč posebnosti svake pojedine stranke iz uzorka predstavlja odstupajući slučaj na osnovi izostanka adresiranja ideoloških vrijednosti, konkretnih javnopolitičkih ciljeva i aktualnih pitanja u izbornoj kampanji pred parlamentarne izbore 2014. godine u Sloveniji.

Abstract (english)

This thesis addresses the growing trend of new party success in Southeast Europe after the 2008 economic crisis. It reflects the theoretical framework developed by Allan Sikk and Seán Hanley in which they aimed to analyze and classify new parties in the post-communist states of Central and Southeast Europe. The thesis focuses on the Modern Centre Party (SMC), which won the early elections in 2014 with a relative majority, led by Miro Cerar who was given the mandate to form the government. The case study seeks to gain a clear insight into the causes of new party formation and the reasons for their unexpected success, whereby SMC stands out as a deviating case because it corresponds essentially to the given theoretical framework of new parties. The review of the new parties sample in Southeast Europe confirms the thesis that the Modern Centre Party, despite the particularities of each individual party in the sample, presents a deviating case based on the absence of addressing ideological values, specific policy goals and key issues in the election campaign before the 2014 parliamentary elections in Slovenia.
