This book, originally published in 1975, presents a theory of
behaviour in coalitions and presents an application of the theory
to Indian political party coalitions. The major findings of the
study are (a) the size of political parties is unimportant when
important benefits are distributed in coalitions; (b) behaviour
that combines a moderate degree of cooperation and competition with
one's allies leads to a much greater political success than either
highly competitive or highly cooperative behaviour; and (c)
political parties with leaders whose personalities can be
characterised as having a high need to achieve enjoy much greater
electoral success than parties whose leaders are relatively low in
need for achievement. The book is important because the theory is
able to explain long term and short term consequences of
coalitions; it presents a careful analysis of political party
behaviour in India and it combines elements of positive political
theory, empirical political science and psychology in explaining
coalition behaviour.
