description Working out a transnational electoral geography in Central and Eastern Europe is not an easy job. The political systems of the countries concerned are not yet stabilized and the prevailing rifts cannot be reduced to those underlying the party system in Western Europe. In our classification 9 partisan families stand out in accordance with the positioning of the parties in relation to 3 axes : an economic, a social and a cultural axis. Such a classification makes it possible to draw up a typology of the national partisan systems and a geography of each partisan family, i.e. the ecologists, the communists, the minimalist agrarians, the social democrats, the occidentalist liberals and conservatives, the identitarian, Christian, populist and/or agrarian right, the ethnic- or religious-based populist nationals, and the extreme right. To these must be added the parties representing the interests of the national minorities and those defending particular interests, on a populist or a poujadist basis.
