This timely book provides a comprehensive multi-dimensional and comparative analysis of
political uncertainty. It is innovative in introducing the notions of inter-institutional
verbally induced and historical uncertainty. It argues for an inclusive approach which
considers multiple aspects of uncertainty even when they are of a different nature. Combining
aggregate statistical analysis and qualitative case studies it compares political uncertainty
in established and non-consolidated democracies. Overall this book furnishes important
insights into uncertainty in political life and how the discipline of political science is
coming to terms with it.
