Description
This title is an empirical analysis to date of coalition politics. Based on a large cross-national data collection, covering the entire post-war period from 1945 to 1999, it is a systematic study of the institutions of governance and conflict resolution in coalition governments. The book is also a source of information on cabinet formation, membership, termination, and electoral performance of coalition parties. The volume analyzes the institutional frameworks in which coalition politics takes place in the individual countries and discusses which constraints for government formation, coalition governance, and coalition termination result from them. The information has been collected in standardized form by first rate country experts, and is presented in the form of standard tables. This book is intended for scholars and students of political science, comparative European Politics, and modern European history.
