- This book examines the role of communicative interaction in coalition bargaining from government formation to termination. This aspect of coalition governance is neglected in the existing literature, which is dominated by large-n comparisons using quantitative methods. The theoretical framework conceptualises the dynamics of unity and distinctiveness in rhetorical terms, as ideological, instrumental, and interpersonal forms of identification and division, and it is applied systematically across the Cameron-Clegg coalition years. The selection of sub-cases allows for a sustained qualitative analysis of textual sources from a range of political actors.
