Building Trust at the Beginning of a New Leadership Role: The Role of Learning and Collaboration

Abstract

How can we strengthen the capacity of governments and parties to manage arrivals and departures at the top? Democracy requires reliable processes for the transfer of power from one generation of leaders to the next. This book introduces new analytical frameworks and presents the latest empirical evidence from comparative political research. "The transfer of power is fundamental to the proper functioning of our political and administrative institutions. Yet, students of government and practitioners have little in the way of literature to guide their understanding of how power changes hands. This book fills a void in a comprehensive and insightful fashion. It brings a theoretical, empirical and comparative perspective to planning government transitions."--Donald J.
