| Summary/Abstract |
This article explores the influence that state finance has had on the Romanian party system by examining the entry and exit of parties throughout the period of 1990 - 2004 and focusing on the number of parties that gained representation in the parliament as well as the party incumbency rate. I find that state finance has had a limited influence on the party system as a whole but has been influential for specific parties. I argue that the influence of state finance partly depends on when the system was introduced. In developing party systems, the influence of state finance on individual parties is more differential.
