Introduction -- After the White House : the modern US post-presidency / Iwan Morgan -- Former prime ministers in Britain since 1945 / Kevin Theakston -- The strange afterlives of Canadian prime ministers / Stephen Azzi -- The evolution of prime ministerial afterlives in Australia / Paul Strangio -- The political afterlives of German chancellors / William E. Paterson -- Former leaders in France / David S. Bell -- Outside the bubble : the activities and influence of former taoisigh / Eoin O'Malley -- From oblivion to limelight: stability and change in Dutch post-prime ministerial careers / Jouke de Vries, Paul Hart and Hidde Onstein -- The afterlife of Belgian prime ministers / Lieven De Winter and Ilona Rezshazy -- The once and future prime ministers of Israel / Dan Korn -- Conclusion.

What comes next for a former leader in a democracy {esc}b6{esc}s a Prime Minister or a President obliged to leave office because they have lost an election, come to the end of their constitutionally-fixed term, fallen ill, lost the backing of their party, or (more rarely) chosen to call it a day and voluntarily step down? Covering the USA, Britain, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium and Israel, this book analyses the role, experience and political influence of former leaders in Western democratic states. The book's comparative approach highlights factors of variation and coincidence between the single-country cases, which look at countries of different sizes and weights in the world; with a variety of constitutional, governmental and party systems and differing national cultures and contexts. Among the issues discussed in the collection are: whether there are broad historical phases and trends across the case studies; whether expectations of post-office rewards and activities affect leaders' behaviour in office and willingness to leave; how far political system variables as opposed to individual variables shape or determine the nature of post-office careers; how far differences in post-office roles are related to party differences, manner of exit from office, length of tenure, relations with successors, perceived success or failure in office, age and health factors; and how far former leaders learn from and copy the example of other former leaders.
