Ministerial Survival During Political and Cabinet Change

Více o knize

Focusing on the dynamics of ministerial survival, this book presents a formal theory linking ministerial competence to the political longevity of heads of government and the structure of political institutions. It analyzes the tenures of over 7,300 foreign ministers from 1696 to 2004 across 180 countries. The findings illuminate the factors influencing ministerial change and offer insights into broader themes such as diplomacy, conflict, and the principles of democratic peace in international relations.
