It seeks with the use of modern politological approaches, particularly theories of democracy transition and consolidatin, models of modern democracies (westminster and consensual, pluralistic and neo-corporativistic, a theory of polyarchy) and party systems typologies (primarily typology of G. Sartori and J. Blondel) to clarify and analyze changes of political systems of these two new close democracies and to provide their comparison in post-communist middle and east Europe broader perspective.The main output will be a book case-study for either of countries. These book case-studies will be analogical in basic features: description of political evolution since 1989 (including excursus concerning the common state existence impact on both of these countries in the beginning of the 90s of the 20 centrury), picture of the basic political institutions (in context of the above mentioned politological theories) and changes of political system.
