This book is an examination of minority government performance in conjunction with the territorial distribution of state power and the territorial interests of political parties. It examines political institutions, and the reconcilability of party goals and the contingent bargaining circumstances, in multilevel and territorial perspectives.
"The author makes a very significant documentation effort through personal interviews with the politicians of each period. ... this book clearly advances our understanding of how well minority parliamentary governments can govern, how they build parliamentary majorities and, most importantly, why some perform better than others. ... This is an important book for those interested in minority governments and coalition politics, and for readers keen on Spanish politics in particular."
