How is it that Sweden has been able to combine political stability with an entrenched multiparty system? How is it that she has produced such remarkable achievements in economic policy, social welfare, labor relations, and international cooperation? In this first comprehensive study of Swedish parties and cabinet government in English the author examines the delicate yet effective means of compromise worked out by the political parties. The first three chapters are a concise history of Swedish politics, from the time when the parliament consisted of four estates to the present, while the succeeding chapters give a systematic account of the four groups responsible for representative government in Sweden: the electorate, parties, legislature, and cabinet.Originally published in 1955.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Since the end of World War II, the main strategic role of Turkey, as seen by her Western allies and by some elements at least among her southern neighbors, was to serve as a barrier; more successfully, to block the path of Soviet expansions into the Middle East. It is in large measure thanks to the existence and effectiveness of the Turkish barrier that Soviet successes in the Arab countries, though often great, were always precarious. Based on Turkey's old historical, cultural and religious ties, the Middle East was able to thwart the spread of communism. However, in recent years, this has been underpinned by a growing economic relationship between the Middle East and Turkey. Turkey's role with its Middle East partners and western ties from beginnings of the Cold War has allowed the Turkish government to form a unique and interesting bond in the region. As Rustow, while not undermining the role as a barrier in the region, draws attention to another and overlooked importance- that of a cultural and commercial bridge between the West and the Middle East. This is important when coupled with Turkey's ability to improve the relations with non-Western supporters or even anti-western groupings. This last is an important point ant a major focus Rustow's important Study. That an alliance is far more valuable and effective when it is based not only on perceived common interests but on genuine affinities- a community of beliefs and values.
