At the beginning of the twenty-first century prime ministers loom
larger in the consciousness of their nations than perhaps in any
previous era. But how well do we really understand the variables of
prime-ministerial performance, and, specifically, why some prime
ministers apparently flourish in the role while others wither? This
study examines how prime ministers perform as leaders of their
governments, parties, and nations. It offers new ways of thinking
about prime-ministerial power and leadership, and systematic
empirical studies of prime-ministerial leadership practices in four
Westminster democracies: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and
New Zealand. The volume features contributions from leading
political scientists from all of these countries and is organised
into three major sections: understanding power in prime-ministerial
performance, prime ministers and their parties, and evaluating
prime-ministerial performance. Through its collaborative and
multifaceted approach the volume demonstrates that there are no
hard and fast propositions or rules of thumb to capture what it is
that makes us think of some prime ministers as so much more
effective than others. Instead it highlights the importance for
students of executive government to grasp the contingent interplay
between personal, institutional, and contextual factors in
understanding and evaluating prime-ministerial performance.
