Summary/Abstract: This paper discusses the process of termination of party coalitions in parliamentary systems. In contrast to the classic theories of coalition formation, it has been suggested, based on the analysis of practices in Western Europe, to consider the termination of coalitions as a separate stage in their life cycle. All coalition terminations have been divided into technical and discretionary. This approach allows us to better understand the logic of coalition termination in parliamentary democracies and offers a more precise prediction of the outcome of interactions between coalition partners.
