Acknowledgments
This book would not have been possible without the lasting support of Hanna Bäck and Wolfgang C. Müller who were both supervising my dissertation project which resulted in this publication. In occasional meetings in Mannheim, Lund or Vienna, by email and via telephone they provided me throughout the years with invaluable suggestions on methods, theory and the structure of the text. Therefore, I owe them my deepest gratitude. Furthermore, I would like to thank the participants at the FoJuS-Jahrestagung 2011 in Speyer, the internal methods seminar organized by Sven-Oliver Proksch in June 2011, the colloquium of the chair of Thomas Bräuninger in autumn 2011, and the research seminar at the Institut für Staatswissenschaften in Vienna in spring 2011 for all the good comments at early stages of the work on this study. This study is a product of the research project “Strong” vs. “Weak” Governments and the Challenge of Economic Reform at the SFB 884 at the University of Mannheim, funded by the DFG. It provided the resources to build up the dataset used in the analyses. In revising the dissertation for publication I have also benefited from the funding to the project by the Austrian Science Fund (P 25490). This book is dedicated to my parents. Without them, I would not be where I am now. Thank you. Sebastian Hartmann Mannheim
