Description

Book Synopsis
A highly puzzling phenomena in politics is why some parliamentary democracies, such as Britain, manage to produce highly durable governments, whereas others, such as Italy, experience instability. This book uses an innovative statistical methodology and data set to analyse sixteen West European countries over the entire post-war period.
