Nature of Party Government A Comparative European Perspective

The Nature of Party Government examines on a comparative basis the relationship betwen governments and the political parties which support them. This book highlihts the fact that, if parties in western European democracies have a strong influence upon governements, executives - far from being a passive instrument - have an important influence within parties. Party government is in fact a two-way relationship.Blondel, Jean is the author of 'Nature of Party Government A Comparative European Perspective' with ISBN 9780312237622 and ISBN 0312237626.
