Journal Title: Studia Humanistyczno-Społeczne - Year 2016, Vol 14, Issue

Abstract

The article discusses the reasons for the weak position of Christian Democratic parties in the Nordic countries. It characterizes different types of Christian Democracy at the European level and examines the most important factors of belonging to a party family. Briefly sets out the historical development of the Nordic Christian Democratic parties and their most significant achievements. The comparative analysis examines the causes of low gain of researched political parties, as well as their relevance and potential problems of the Nordic Christian democracy. In addition to including countries into the periphery and that they religiously different from the rest of continental Europe, we are attaching particular importance to the structure of the party system andhigh proportionality, which does not contribute to the cohesion behaviour of the centre-right parties.
