Cooperation Between Parties

Abstract

How do parties deal with the fact that they have to compromise with other parties that have (at times strongly) divergent preferences? This panel invites papers about the challenges of inter-party cooperation, ranging from informal cooperation to the formation of formal coalitions between parties. This includes papers on the formation of coalition governments, as well as papers about governance within coalitions, e.g. the challenges of policy-making in coalition governments with or without a secured majority status in parliament, or the use of control mechanisms in coalition governments.
