Parties and Democracy studies the actual behaviour of some four hundred governments in twenty post-war democracies. The conclusion that parties do function in accordance with modern democratic theory will serve to put moral justifications of democracy and descriptions of the system on a firmer footing.
promises to be one of the most significant books on government formation and performance to appear in several years * West European Politics *
a very worthwhile and timely analysis * Political Studies *
Budge and Keman amass a formidable amount of evidence in support of their thesis that policy is the major determining factor in the creation and sustenance of coalition governments. * Times Literary Supplement *
