On the Stability of Coalitions: A Rough Set Approach

Original language description

The aim of the article is to evaluate coalition stability in multi-party systems with the use of the rough set theory. In this approach an information system including all members of a legislature with their votes is used, and coalitions are considered rough sets defined by their lower and upper approximations. Based on these approximations, three categories of coalitions according to their stability are defined: stable, conditionally stable and unstable; and a stability index is introduced to express adegree of coalition stability, which can provide useful information about coalitions' potential persistence in the long run. The method was applied to the evaluation of government coalition stability in the Czech Parliament during 2006-2010 electoral term.
