Abstract

V originále

The paper deals with the complex issue of (ethno)regional parties conceptualisation. Ethno-regional parties can be conceived of as political parties whose electoral and legitimation potential is primarily based on identitary mobilisation of an ethno-territorial community of sub-national (sub-state) nature. However, ethnic and territorial aspects may assume different relevance within the different approaches to the study of ethno-regional parties. It should be emphasized, that regional parties are not necessarily ethnic parties - and vice versa. Regional parties could be defined as formations with region-based electorate and mobilisation resources, or as formations representing sub-national (regional) interest communities exercising party functions to the full extent in a regionally defined operating space. Ethno-regional (ethno-regionalist) parties may thus be defined as a sort of regional (regionalist) parties.
