The same forces shaped both transition character and party regeneration chances

Evidence

The willingness to respond to society’s demands with policy tinkering and societal engagement increased the likelihood of a negotiated transition in 1989, rather than a forced capitulation. In turn, whether the party-state capitulated or engaged in lengthy bargaining gave the party itself additional time in which to adapt itself to the new political system and the demands it would make on the party organization, leadership, and members. Thus, rather than a prolonged transition simply causing party regeneration, the same forces determined both the character of the transition and the party’s chances for regeneration. — Anna M.
