This truly comparative volume examines the "life cycle" of party
governments in Europe from 1990 onwards, and analyses its role and
function in contemporary European parliamentary democracies. The
life and the performance of party governments in Europe became more
and more volatile and publicly contested. In some cases, it has
even challenge the democratic quality of the state. This book
presents comparative analyses of party governments from formation
and duration, to performance. It brings together some of the
foremost scholars researching on party government to evaluate
existing theories and compare both the developments in the Western
and the 'new' Eastern Europe in an empirically-grounded comparative
analysis. The book discusses the interaction between various
institutions, political parties and policies, and evaluates how
institutional change and party behaviour can drive the "life cycle"
of party government. Party Government in the New Europe will be of
interest to students and scholars of Comparative Politics,
Democracy, Government and European Politics.
