Suleiman, examines the ways in which eight major Western nations have organized political leadership. Two have a President as chief executive (the United States and France); five have a Prime Minister (Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy, and Norway); and one a dictator (Franco Spain). The chapters are written by: * CARLOS R. ALBA, Autonomous University of Madrid * CoLIN CAMPBELL, s.j., York University, Canada * SABINO CASSESE, Higher School of Public Administration, Rome * RENATE MAYNTz, University of Cologne * JOHAN P. OLSEN, University of Bergen * RICHARD ROSE, University of Strathclyde * EZRA N. SULEIMAN, Princeton University In a concluding essay on the significance of the European experience for Americans, Rose argues that the United States is distinctive in having an unbalanced system, in which politics (that is, the voicing of demands for particular policies) is overly strong in relation to government (that is, the capacity to reconcile conflicting demands and to act authoritatively on major collective problems). The result is that the United States is less able to cope with major collective decisions concerning national security, defense, and energy than are other countries. Looking at another system helps illuminate our own, which is precisely what these essays do. RICHARD E.
