Ministerial Survival During Political and Cabinet Change

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the conditions for survival in ministerial roles, 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 affairs ministers across 180 countries from 1696 to 2004. The findings contribute valuable insights into ministerial transitions, diplomacy, war occurrences, and the principles of democratic peace within the context of international relations.
