Abstract
This concluding chapter brings together all the country-specific observations and assessments made in the previous chapters in order to deliver a comparative, and slightly broader, perspective of party leadership in Eastern Europe. It reflects on the importance of the six character traits investigated in this book and on the impact they produce for the electoral fortune and internal organization of political parties. This is done with the aim of highlighting the implications of this book for the future study of party leadership.
