POLITICAL LEADERSHIP - ROBERT ELGIE GEBUNDEN

This book provides a philosophically informed  institutionalist account of political
leadership. It is rooted in a certain version of the American pragmatist philosophical
tradition and privileges the study of institutions as a cause of leadership outcomes. The book
adopts a multi-method approach. It includes a laboratory experiment identifying the
psychological effects of presidentialism and parliamentarism on leader behavior  a large-n
statistical study of the impact of semi-presidentialism on voter choice  an expert survey of
president cabinet conflict in Europe  an analysis of presidential control over cabinet
composition in France  and two in-depth case studies of the circumstances surrounding
constitutional choice in France and Romania. This book is aimed at scholars and students of
political leadership  political institutions  the philosophy of the social sciences  and
research methods. Overall  it shows that an institutional account has the potential to generate
well-settled beliefs about the causes of leadership outcomes.
