To step in government at only one level or to stay in opposition at
both? To opt for a single consistent strategy or to try out
various, but sometimes conflicting, formulae? To replicate
coalition agreements at the federal level or to adapt them to the
regional context, even if this means departing from a coherent
party line? These are just some of the many questions that
political parties face when attempting to form a successful
coalition in multi-level polities. Through the example of Germany
and Spain Dr. Stefuriuc seeks to explore how political parties form
coalitions at the subnational level and in doing so develops a
strong theoretical framework that revises existing models of
government formation and creates explanations based on the
multi-level institutional context. This excellent contribution to
the subject is important reading for students and scholars of
Comparative European Politics, Federalism, decentralization and
Multi-level Governance.
