Accounting for Ministers uses the tools of modern political science to analyse the factors which determine the fortunes of Cabinet ministers. Utilising agency theory, it describes Cabinet government as a system of incentives for prime ministerial and parliamentary rule. The authors use a unique dataset of ministers from 1945 to 2007 to examine the structural and individual characteristics that lead to the selection and durability of ministers. Sensitive to historical context, it describes the unique features of different Prime Ministers and the sorts of issues and scandals that lead to the forced exit of ministers. The authors identify the structural factors that determine ministerial performance and tenure, seeing resignation calls as performance indicators. Probing the nature of individual and collective responsibility within Westminster forms of government, its rigorous analysis provides powerful new insights into the nature of Cabinet government.

Marga Klompé (1912-1986) leeft nog altijd voort in de herinnering als de eerste vrouwelijke minister van Nederland, als grondlegster van de Algemene Bijstandswet en de Wet op de Bejaardenoorden. Zij was een voorvechtster van vrede en internationale gerechtigheid en meende dat bijdragen aan een goede samenleving ieders opdracht was. Hierbij was haar rooms-katholieke geloof de grondslag. Gedurende haar eerste jaar als lid van de Tweede Kamer, van augustus 1948 tot augustus 1949, hield Klompé een dagboek bij. Zij noteerde wat zij meemaakte en wie zij ontmoette. Ze maakte ook aantekeningen over haar inzet om 'in Liefde en Rechtvaardigheid' te leven en politiek te bedrijven. Dit bezielde, bij tijden ontroerende dagboek wordt in deze uitgave bij gelegenheid van haar honderdste geboortedag gepubliceerd, omgeven door enkele andere teksten die licht werpen op Klompés blijvende betekenis.

This book reconsiders the life of former South African Defense Minister, F.C. Erasmus. Although an architect of the Nationalists' post-war election victory, he was not considered a minster of the first rank. Erasmus initiated a process of ridding the defense force of officers who he believed were associated with the government of Jan Smuts. Erasmus felt that the armed services had been too British in its ethos and appearance and wanted to create a force that was uniquely South African. However, without an immanent military threat, Erasmus never received a substantial budgetary allocation to mo

Der Staatssekretär im Reichsministerium des Innern Wilhelm Stuckart (1902-1953) war einer der wichtigsten juristischen Interpreten und Legitimatoren des NS-Staates. Als Mit-Autor der Nürnberger Rassegesetze goss er dessen biologistische Grundlagen in Gesetze und begleitete später die Vorbereitungen zum Genozid. Im Frühjahr 1942 vertrat er auf der Endlösungskonferenz am Wannsee sein Ressort. Nach dem Krieg gehörte Stuckart zu den Schöpfern der Legende von der "sauberen Verwaltung", die sich den rassistischen Ansprüchen der NS-Machthaber widersetzt habe. Die biographische Auseinandersetzung mit Stuckart belegt nicht nur die prägende Funktion von führenden Juristen in der NS-Verwaltung, sie untersucht auch die Rolle der Innenverwaltung und ihre Mitwirkung am Genozid. Hans-Christian Jasch ist für seine Arbeit mit dem Richard-Schmid-Preis für Justizgeschichte 2012 des Forums Justizgeschichte ausgezeichnet worden.
