Description

Understand the complex dynamics of political leadership with this research-driven study on ministerial survival. While conventional wisdom suggests leaders choose competent ministers to help them rule, this book challenges that assumption by examining why certain officials remain in power during political and cabinet changes. This work explores the specific conditions that allow ministers to stay in office and how their tenure relates to ministerial competence, the political survival of heads of government, and the structure of political institutions. It provides a formal theory of political survival within the cabinet to explain why some leaders succeed while others do not. Through a systematic analysis of over 7,300 ministers of foreign affairs across more than 180 countries, this book offers deep insights into the realities of diplomacy, foreign affairs, and war. It is an essential resource for those studying social and political elites and the mechanics of government stability.
