"Why parties'historical baggage matters. Opposition sucessor parties in third wave democracies"

Abstract: In recent years, many scholars have analysed the success of Authoritarian Successor Parties (ASP) in Third Wave democracies and their effect on the political system, including the survival of the new democratic regime. Still, little attention has been paid to how other parties might relate to the authoritarian past and their effect on the new regimes. To fill this gap, we propose a new political party typology that not only includes ASPs but also Opposition Successor Parties (OSP). Basing our classification on an expert survey which covers 28 third wave democracies around the world, this paper analyses OSPs’ presence in different countries stressing differences in their electoral success. We show that OSPs are relevant actors in most third wave democracies, even if not in all. And we test what is the relationship between ASPs and OSPs success to the quality and the survival of democracy.
