The models of coalitional process in the formation of governmental cabinets: theoretical cut and review of literature

Abstract

The article offers a review of literature on the theorization and systematization of models of coalitional process in the formation of governmental cabinets. It was demonstrated that all models of coalitional process can be divided into institutional and non-institutional, but most of them are characterized by game theories and theories of rational choice. At the same time, it was found that the models of coalitional process should be divided into formal and empirical as well as pragmatic and ideological. Nevertheless, it was stated that the isolated models of coalitional process in the formation of governmental cabinets are not exhaustive. Since the real coalitional process should be perceived as a gradation based on the ranking of various influence, which can be determined nationally and regionally.
