This book describes the results of a quantitative investigation
into one of the central questions of political science: what
determines how long governments survive in parliamentary
democracies? Government survival is important because it
constitutes an essential component of the overall functioning of
parliamentary democracies; it is also closely associated with the
introduction to the discipline of event history analysis, a highly
promising statistical methodology. The investigation utilizes this
methodology on what is undoubtedly the most comprehensive data set
yet assembled on governments, comprising hundreds of variables
measured for governments in sixteen West European parliamentary
democracies over the entire post-war period to 1989. The results
fundamentally challenge the central thread of theorizing on
government survival and point to an alternative conceptualization
of the relationship among governments, parties and voters.
