"Collective cabinet decisionmaking provides the institutional
mechanism by which many governments prioritize their policies and
guard against unpredictable policy reversals." - Mansood Ahmed,
Vice President, Poverty Reduction and Economic Management Network,
The World Bank The style and membership of cabinets vary in every
country. The heads of democratic governments form a cabinet for
three principal reasons: 1. The threat that the legislature will
significantly amend the government's program as expressed in the
budget proposals made by the executive. 2. The threat of dismissal
between elections. 3. The risk that the executive will be seen by
the public as having departed from a previous tradition of cabinet
government and judged poorly as a result. 'Strategic Decisionmaking
in Cabinet Government' shows that cabinet government is a rational
response to these risks and sets out the institutional arrangements
that make the cabinet a binding device. This report recognizes the
significance of the budget process for collective decisionmaking,
but moves beyond the simplistic assumption that tradeoffs in
cabinet government can only be made by reallocating the budget. It
supports practical approaches for assessing the strength of cabinet
decisionmaking arrangements and for identifying practical steps to
improve the prospect that decisions will be collectively binding.
