This is the most comprehensive empirical analysis to date of coalition politics. Based on large cross-national data collection covering the entire post-war period from 1945 to 1999, it is the first systematic study of the institutions of governance and conflict resolution in coalition governments. The book is also an unparalleled source of information on cabinet formation, membership, termination, and electoral performance of coalition parties.

This volume provides empirical work on legislative role orientations and behaviours in six west European parliaments. All contributions present findings on parliamentarians' role orientations in different institutional contexts.
