Abstract
How well do Spain’s minority governments work? This chapter first presents the empirical puzzle that the rest of the book explores. Spain’s minority governments exhibit far stronger governing capacity than the cross-national averages in terms of their ability to accomplish their legislative agendas and remain in office. Notably, their governing capacity is comparable to single-party majority governments in Spain.
