Abstract

The author looks into the phenomenon of party competition by referring to the works of the proponents of the theory of rational choice which does not presuppose close links between political entrepreneurs and social groups. The author tries to prove that party competition has its temporal dimension within which parties have different goals that depend on their competitive situation. The author goes on to prove that various models of the analysis of party competition are to a large extent linked with the original assumptions that determine their explanatory power. In conclusion, the author outlines the factors determining the choice of the goals and the strategies of party competition, especially the factor of party organization.
