Making use of a unique data set that includes more than 1000
leadership elections from over 100 parties in 14 countries over an
almost 50 year period, this volume provides the first
comprehensive, comparative examination of how parties choose their
leaders and the impact of the different decisions they make in this
regard. Among the issues examined are how leaders are chosen, the
factors that result in parties changing their selection rules, how
the rules affect the competitiveness of leadership elections, the
types of leaders chosen, the impact of leadership transition on
electoral outcomes, the factors affecting the length of leadership
tenures, and how leadership tenures come to an end. This volume is
situated in the literature on intra-party decision making and party
organizational reform and makes unique and important contributions
to our understanding of these areas. The analysis includes parties
in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Hungary,
Israel, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Norway, and the United
Kingdom. Comparative Politics is a series for students, teachers,
and researchers of political science that deals with contemporary
government and politics. Global in scope, books in the series are
characterised by a stress on comparative analysis and strong
methodological rigour. The series is published in association with
the European Consortium for Political Research. For more
