This book explores the varying ways in which political parties in
Europe make arguably their most important decisions: the selection
of their leaders. The choice shapes the representation of a party
externally. It also influences the management of internal conflict,
because there will always be some disagreement about the party's
direction. The rules of selection will naturally affect the
outcome. Yet there is more to it than rules. Sometimes the process
is open and fiercely contested. Sometimes the field of potential
leaders is filtered even before the decision reaches the
selectorate - the organ that, according to party statutes, formally
makes the appointment. The selectorate might have only a single
candidate to ratify, a so-called 'coronation'. The book presents a
framework for analysing both the formal and informal sides of
leader selection, and hones the framework through its application
in a series of case studies from nine European countries.
