Constitutional power and competing risks: Monarchs, presidents, prime ministers, and the termination of East and West European cabinets

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Some European constitutions give cabinets great discretion to manage their own demise, whereas others limit their choices and insert the head of state into decisions about government termination. In this article, we map the tremendous variation in the constitutional rules that govern cabinet termination and test existing expectations about its effects on a government's survival and mode of termination. In doing so, we use the most extensive government survival data set available to date, the first to include East and West European governments.
