This book focuses on Prime Ministers (PMs) in the post-communist
democracies of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). It shows how the
survival of PMs in chief executive office depends on their
interrelations with other actors in three different arenas. The
first arena encompasses the linkages between PMs and their parties.
In this respect, being a party leader is a major power resource for
PMs to retain office even under critical circumstances. At the
heart of the second arena is the PMs’ relationship to other
parliamentary parties. In this regard, the high fragmentation and
fluidity of many post-communist party systems pose enormous
challenges for PMs to secure constant parliamentary support. In the
third arena, PMs are confronted with state presidents. Given their
relatively strong powers in most CEE countries, presidents may use
their constitutional powers to interfere in the political domain of
PMs and thus jeopardise the stability of party governments. The
book offers new evidence on these relationships from case studies
and a broader comparative perspective. This volume will be of great
use to students and researchers interested in comparative politics
and government, European studies as well as political leadership.
The chapters in this book were originally published as a special
issue of East European Politics and are accompanied by a revised
introduction and a new conclusion.
