The "Ex-communist party" label has often been used to describe the political ideas and political behavior of the former ruling communist parties operating in post-communist political systems. Yet, the former ruling communist parties have not only followed diverse paths of organizational transformation, but also have developed very different strategic visions of their role in the politics of post-communism. By comparing the political environments faced by the former ruling organizations of East Germany and Hungary and then utilizing content analysis to identify the strategic visions of each of the two organizations, this article demonstrates how different post-communist national political settings have resulted in divergent strategic visions for successor parties in Germany and Hungary.

'Mit dem Untergang des Sowjetkommunismus sind die ehedem an ihm orientierten Parteien keineswegs von der politischen Landkarte Europas verschwunden. Ein Vergleich der westeuropäischen Formationen fördert drei ideologisch- programmatische Strömungen zu Tage: Traditionelle KPen halten am Erbe des Marxismus-Leninismus weitgehend fest, während sich postkommunistische Organisationen weitgehend davon lösen, Kapitalismuskritik zum Teil mit ökologistischen Konzepten verbinden. Dazwischen angesiedelt sind Reformkommunisten, die dem Leninismus in Teilen abschwören, dem Marxismus aber überwiegend die Treue halten. Angesichts der Auflösung traditioneller Milieus gehen alle drei Strömungen im Wettbewerb mit der etablierten gemäßigten Linken einer ungewissen Zukunft entgegen.' (Autorenreferat)

This major study examines one of the most surprising developments in East Central European politics after the democratic transitions of 1989: the completely unexpected regeneration of the former communist parties. After the collapse of the communist regimes in 1989, these ruling communist parties seemed consigned to oblivion. However, confounding scholarly and popular expectations, all of these parties survived. Some have even returned to power. This in-depth, comparative study systematically analyzes the trajectories of four cases: the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, and Hungary (with additional examination of other communist party successors). Relying on extensive, and unprecedented, primary research, this analysis employs a consistent analytical framework that combines the peculiarities of the post-socialist cases with broad theoretical concerns of institutional analysis, democratic transitions and consolidation, and party politics
