Nested Political Coalitions

Více o knize

Focusing on the dynamics of coalition politics, the book outlines principles that govern the behavior of rational actors forming alliances. It identifies four coalition types—country, regime, agenda, and cabinet—and analyzes their interrelationships, showing how broader coalitions lead to more specific ones, often with reduced support over time. The text also discusses how changes at the program or cabinet level typically do not weaken, and may even enhance, the overarching regime or country coalitions, barring any major political upheaval.
