By offering a comparative study of the political leadership of James Callaghan, Margaret Thatcher, John Major and Tony Blair with regard to European monetary policy, it challenges the thesis that British prime ministers today have more power, resources and autonomy than their predecessors, giving them a greater capacity to act. Taking key European monetary policy decisions by the British government between 1976 and 2007 as empirical cases, the book assesses the extent to which the political leadership of each prime minister was affected by the cabinet, the parliamentary party as well as the media, and the extent to which he or she was able to manage these factors. It becomes clear from this analysis that prime ministerial predominance is not as frequent as suggested, while collective leadership does not represent a return to cabinet government. Moreover, particularly the party in government affects the prime minister?s leadership by shaping his or her options on appointments (and therefore the composition of the core executive), and through its behaviour in parliament, e.g. through rebellions or the threat of them. . 410 0$aContributions to Political Science,$x2198-7289 606 $aGreat Britain?Politics and government 606 $aPolitical leadership 606 $aMacroeconomics 606 $aLegislative bodies 606 $aBritish Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911120 606 $aPolitical Leadership$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911230 606 $aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W32000 606 $aLegislative and Executive Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911240 615 0$aGreat Britain?Politics and government. 615 0$aPolitical leadership. 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 0$aLegislative bodies. 615 14$aBritish Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Leadership. 615 24$aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics. 615 24$aLegislative and Executive Politics. 676 $a320.941 700 $aBujard$b Birgit$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061305 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910338021203321 996 $aThe British Prime Minister in the Core Executive$92518242 997 $aUNINA
