Coalition Agreements as Control Devices : Coalition Governance in Western and Eastern Europe

This book explores why political parties negotiate lengthy coalition contracts, and argues that these agreements are important control devices that allow coalition parties to keep their partners in line. The authors draw on a large dataset of 229 coalition agreements negotiated in 24 Western and Eastern European countries between 1945 and 2015.
