Based on an analysis of nine case studies, the work examines how the implementation of public finance affects the pattern of party competition and the role of money in elections. One of the lessons from the post-communist experience is that, no matter how well-designed, public finance systems are subject to constant revision as parties, politicians and business elites exploit loopholes which can undermine the integrity of the entire system. Party and campaign finance systems must therefore be considered in a larger discussion involving party regulation and electoral rules. 606 $aCampaign funds$zFormer communist countries 606 $aElections$zFormer communist countries 606 $aPolitical parties$zFormer communist countries 615 0$aCampaign funds 615 0$aElections 615 0$aPolitical parties 676 $a324.2/1091717 701 $aIkstens$b Janis$0983035 701 $aRoper$b Steven D$0604728 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154616203321 996 $aPublic finance and post-communist party development$92243619 997 $aUNINA
