This book explores the ways in which political parties, in
contemporary parliamentary democracies, choose their leaders and
then subsequently hold them accountable. The authors provide a
comprehensive examination of party leadership selection and
accountability both through examination of parties and countries in
different institutional settings and through a holistic analysis of
the role of party leaders and the methods through which they
assume, and exit, the office. The collection includes essays on
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Hungary, Israel,
Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Norway and the United Kingdom
which have important differences in their party systems, their
degree of democratization, the role assigned to party leaders and
their methods of leadership selection. Each country examination
provides significant data relating to party rules and norms of
leadership selection, leadership tenures and leadership contests.
The book concludes with a chapter that merges the country data
analyses to provide a truly comparative examination of the
theoretical questions underlying the volume. This book will be of
strong interest to students and scholars of legislative studies,
elections, democracy, political parties, party systems, political
elites and comparative politics.
