| Research Abstract |
The present study aimed to explore the process of formation,stabilization and breakdown of hegemonic party systems, analyzing from comparativeperspective the cases of Mexico, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and Senegal. After tracinghistorical process of each case, it has found, among other things, that (1)hegemonic partysystems take shape when an overwhelming ruling group rises from national crises(revolution, disorder, etc.) in a country where the representative government andcompetitive election have been accepted as legitimate by political society, (2)hegemonicparty systems stabilize when non-violent mechanisms or institutions to perpetuateascendency of governing party(fusion of governing party and bureaucracy, authorizationsystem of political parties, exclusive control of election process by government andgoverning party. etc.) are introduced one above the other, (3)an ex-hegemonic party hasa good chance to return to the government in competitive free elections even after thebreakdown of hegemonic party system.
