This symposium brings together three of the most promising research programs aimed at incorporating dynamic elements into coalition models. The articles, each of which constitutes one example from the authors' largest research programs, include a study by Daniel Diermeier, Roderick Swaab, Victoria Medvec, and Mary Kern that explores the relationship between coalition formation and future bargaining expectations; an article by Lanny Martin and Georg Vanberg that looks at the methods governing parties use to communicate with voters who will later decide the fates of these parties; and article by William Bernhard and David Leblang that investigates the endogenous relationship between cabinet stability and the economy. Each article not only offers critical insights into the particulars of coalition politics but also provides methodological guidance on how one can go about creating dynamic models of coalitions. The symposium concludes with commentaries from Micahel Laver and Kaare Strom. The author also presented a conceptual scheme for thinking about coalition dynamics. Then, the author discussed how the symposium contributions fit into the scheme. The symposium's goals are to stimulate a sustained movement toward more dynamic models and to re-energize coalition scholarship. References. Adapted from the source document.
