"This book will be a landmark. It is the culmination of a decade of
hard analytical and empirical work through which Tsebelis has
single-handedly transformed comparative government. In spite of its
analytical precision, the writing is highly accessible. It is safe
to predict that this will be among the most influential political
science texts of the coming decade."--Fritz W. Scharpf, Director of
the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne
""Veto Players" ranks as the most important theoretical argument
to emerge in comparative politics over the last 10-15 years.
Tsebelis elegantly lays out a set of simple but rigorous concepts
tied to the legislative process. These concepts and their
underlying dynamics link regimes, party systems, and federalism to
policy outcomes in provocative and profound ways. "Veto Players"
has changed and is likely to continue to change our fundamental
understanding of institutional politics."--Barry Ames, University
of Pittsburgh
""Veto Players" is an excellent book that is likely to be
recognized as a seminal contribution to the study of political
institutions. It will find its way onto reading lists in just about
every self-respecting institution in the United States and many
abroad. Tsebelis covers an amazing range of institutions. His book
is cogent in its style, parsimonious in its argument, and sweeping
in its scope."--Kaare Strom, University of California, San
Diego
"Tsebelis shows that the concept of a 'veto' player can provide
a great deal of leverage for analyzing apparently very diverse
institutional structures. The book is a major advance theoretically
and methodologically and should have the effect of using theory to
breakdown artificial boundaries between the subfields of
Comparative Politics, International Relations, and American
politics."--John Ferejohn, Carolyn Munro Professor, Stanford
University
From the preface to the Italian edition: "Tsebelis has produced
what is today the most original theory for the understanding of the
dynamics of contemporary regimes. . . This book promises to remain
a lasting contribution to political analysis."--Gianfranco
Pasquino, Professor of Political Science, University of Bologna
