Ημιτελείς μετασχηματισμοί και δυσεπίλυτες αντιφάσεις του προδικτατορικού πολιτικού συστήματος : σκέψεις για τη συγκρότηση και την ανάπτυξη του ΠΑΣΟΚ

Abstract

The aim of the article is to examine the developments that took place in the post-Civil War party system as well as during the period of the dictatorship and influenced the evolution of PASOK, its fast growth and its maintenance in power for many years. The period under review is important because it entails specific characteristics-demands to the party system of the Third Greek Democracy. That is, the growth of democratically organised party system, the legitimisation of the Left, the participative culture, the organisation of new type of political parties, the growth of structures and the operation of party internal bodies, demands which are solidified during the first two decades after the dictatorship and which exist even today.
