Political Leadership

Focusing on the interplay between political leadership and institutions, this book employs a multi-method approach to explore how different systems, like presidentialism and parliamentarism, influence leader behavior and voter choice. It features a laboratory experiment, a large-n statistical study, expert surveys, and in-depth case studies from France and Romania. Grounded in American pragmatism, it aims to provide scholars and students with insights into the causes of leadership outcomes, emphasizing the importance of institutional contexts.
