Opis

Cabinets are formed of individual ministers, whose stock may rise and fall, not only with that of their party, but through their general behaviour, their actions, and with the successes and failures of their policies. The book examines the process of selection, shuffling and removal of ministers in national cabinets around the world in a comparative perspective. Drawing on data from 1945 until the present day, it offers a series of case studies of countries with differing institutional and cultural structures from around the world including Presidential and Semi-Presidential Systems, Parliamentary, unitary and federal systems.
