What are the main factors that allow presidents and prime ministers
to enact policy through acts of government that carry the force of
law? Or, simply put, when does a government actually govern? The
theory presented in this book provides a major advance in our
understanding of statutory policy making. Using a combination of an
original analytical framework and statistical techniques, as well
as historical and contemporary case studies, the book demonstrates
that, contrary to conventional wisdom, variations in legislative
passage rates are the consequences of differences in uncertainty,
not partisan support. In particular, it shows that a chief
executive's legislative success depends on the predictability of
legislators' voting behavior and whether buying votes is a feasible
option. From a normative standpoint, the book reveals that
governability is best served when the opposition has realistic
chances of occasionally defeating the executive in the legislative
arena.
