Based on their analysis 5 types of party systems are singled out, starting from quite competitive ones to party systems characterized by insignificant role of parties, which are playing minor role in political agenda-setting. Besides, analysis of economic, socio-cultural and institutional determinants and modernization level reveals their possible impact on trajectories of party systems development.
