| Abstract
|
:
|
"This volume discusses the formation of government cabinets within twenty European democracies, providing the institutional background to the selection and de-selection of ministers." "The book is the first output of the Selection and De-selection of Political Elites international network of scholars (SEDEPE) and will provide a major source of information for all scholars interested in the formation, maintenance and termination of cabinets and the nature of ministerial government. The Selection of Ministers in Europe: Hiring and firing will also be of broader interest to students of European government and political institutions."--BOOK JACKET.
