The high stakes of logistics are not surprising, Deborah Cowen reveals, if we understand its genesis in war. In The Deadly Life of Logistics, Cowen traces the art and science of logistics over the last sixty years, from the battlefield to the boardroom and back again.

In addition, he wants to find out whether government characteristics such as coalition or minority situations impact the degree of partisan policy-making. The author employs a new dataset of social and economic policies collected for several Western European countries. By conducting a wide range of empirical analyses and by using an innovative approach for analysing the policy output, he shows that ideology indeed matters. However, the degree of its influence is contingent upon structural characteristics of governments.  Contents Party Ideology Theory for Studying Policy Outputs The Political Business Cycle Partisan Policy-Making in Coalitions and Minority Governments The Effects of Coalitions on Government Policy Positions The Distribution of Left and Right Policy Measures  Target Groups Researchers and students in the fields of comparative politics, party politics, coalitional politics, and political economy  The Author Sebastian Hartmann studied social sciences in Mannheim and Tartu (Estonia) and holds a doctorate in political science.Comparative governmentEconomicsPolitical scienceComparative Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040International Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010Comparative government.Economics.Political science.Comparative Politics.International Political Economy.Political Theory.300320320.01339.5Hartmann Sebastianauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1229023BOOK9910484107203321Partisan Policy-Making in Western Europe2853059UNINA
