Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Poor Leadership and Bad Governance: Reassessing Presidents and Prime Ministers in North America, Europe and Japan
In leadership research there is a long tradition of focusing attention on the great and successful leaders and, more recently, on issues of good governance. This study breaks new ground by looking systematically into the manifestations and causes of poor leadership and bad governance in some of the world's most powerful democracies. Focusing on the presidents and prime ministers of the G8 - the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and Japan - it explores the complex relationship between weak and ineffective leadership, undemocratic leadership techniques, and bad policies from a broad comparative perspective. What makes leaders weak or bad in different contexts? What are the consequences of their actions and behavior? And has there been any learning from negative experience? These questions are at the center of this fascinating joint inquiry that involves a team of truly distinguished leadership scholars. This book will prove invaluable for scholars and students of leadership, political science, contemporary history, and related academic disciplines. Readers with a general interest in public affairs and political history will also find plenty to interest them. Contributors: J. Gaffney, L. Helms, E.S. Krauss, J. Malloy, G. Pasquino, G. Peele, R. Pekkanen, B.A. Rockman, R. Sakwa

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Regierungsorganisation und politische Führung in Deutschland
Der Band bietet eine politikwissenschaftliche Gesamtdarstellung der Bedingungen und Charakteristika der Regierungsorganisation und politischen Führung durch Kanzler und Bundesregierung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Im Zentrum der Studie steht eine vergleichende Analyse der politischen Ressourcen und Führungsstile deutscher Kanzler seit Konrad Adenauer. Diese werden auf zwei Ebenen - innerhalb des engeren Bereichs der Regierung und auf der Ebene des politischen Systems - betrachtet. Die Analyse ist eingebettet in eine ausgreifende Darstellung und Diskussion der unterschiedlichen theoretisch-konzeptionellen Ansätze der internationalen "leadership"-Forschung. Historische Rückblicke und ein internationaler Vergleich runden die Studie ab.
