Coalition Government and Party Mandate: How Coalition Agreements Constrain Ministerial Action

By Catherine Moury

Book Overview

This book focuses on a comparative study of ministerial behaviour in Germany, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands. It discredits the assumption that ministers are 'policy dictators' in their spheres of competence, and demonstrates that ministers are consistently and extensively constrained when deciding on policies.
