A landmark text in the study of the new post-communist political
systems in post-Cold War Europe. It offers fresh and illuminating
insights into how executives are configured and function in the
fast-changing contexts of transition, modernization, and
Europeanization. It is a major contribution to comparative politics
and required reading for all who wish to understand an essential
aspect of how the new Europe functions.
