Political Fragmentation of the Slovak Republic in Light of Regional Elections

The book examines the electoral processes that took place at the regional level in the Slovak Republic between 2001 and 2022. It focuses on the elections to the Regional Assemblies and elections of Župans, which reflect the legislative conditions for holding elections in the regions, the structure of regional self-government, and the course of regional elections. The book highlights the main electoral cleavages that emerged from the results of the most recent regional elections in 2022. These are 1. Slovak politics vs. Hungarian minority, 2. Party vs. independent deputies, and 3. Political and geographical fragmentation on the regional level.
