Drawing on theories of neo-institutionalism to show how institutions shape dissident behaviour, Boucek develops new ways of measuring factionalism and explains its effects on office tenure. In each of the four cases – from Britain, Canada, Italy and Japan – intra-party dynamics are analyzed through times series and rational choice tools.
