Student: Mihno Anna

Educational Programme: Applied Politics (Master)

Year of Graduation: 2020

In recent years, there has been a surge in scientific interest in the study of the party systems of the new member States of the European Union, due to the trend of increasing political influence of right - wing and left-wing parties. Studies of the post-Communist region focus mainly on cases of Eastern European States and usually exclude the study of cases of the Baltic region. This work is devoted to the study of factors that influence the ideological positioning of parliamentary parties in the Republic of Latvia in order to explain the current stage of deformation of the traditional “right-left” dichotomy.
