note = {Institutional factors have considerable impact on the success of
regional minority parties . This can be seen clearly in the cases of
Catalonia, Quebec, and Scotland and their minority parties; the PQ,
the CiU and the SNP . The combination of party systems and electoral
systems as well as the degree of regional autonomy has played an
important role for their ability to govern and their capability to act
on the regional level . After having been elected into government,
regional minority parties need to play the game of politics in which
ac- tors, driven by their respective interests, have to compete and
govern within a specific insti- tutional context . From a
neo-institutional perspective, regional minority parties influence
these institutions over the long, but they are also constrained by the
institutional context .Governance means here the reciprocal
interaction between societal and political/institu- tional factors .
These processes can contribute to the disintegration and integration
of a multi-level government system . This is connected to a specific
leeway of societal mobiliza- tion, in which generations are socialized
politically in such a way that they become a so- called
“Unabhängigkeitsgeneration” (a generation of people seeking
independence) . Those generations can then put pressure on the
institutional system in different degrees . [ZParl, vol . 46, no . 1,
