“The status of Spain and Poland as two of the six largest EU member states speak of their political importance. This book explores the differences and similarities of three most significant traits of their political systems: the electoral system, political parties, and political culture.

This unique contribution provides much valuable information that will be of great service to political science scholars but also to a much wider audience”.

Dr. Albert Falcó-Gimeno

“Political science - both as a research discipline and a popular subject of study - will be enriched by this publication, which brings together renowned researchers into modern political systems from the University of Warsaw and the universities of Barcelona, Sevilla and Grenada. They have undertaken a thorough and authoritative analysis of the electoral systems, party systems and political culture of Spain and Poland.

Of particular value for the research field is the fact that the authors focus on those transformations to selected spheres of political life that were stimulated by the downfall of authoritarian regimes. This makes it possible to compare the results of pro-democratic reforms and come to important conclusions. On the basis of these conclusions, scholars may make predictions about the development of the political situation in countries where a democratic political system has not yet developed or is still in the process of consolidating”.
