Summary/Abstract: The previous country chapters dealt with the following questions: What used to be, or are, the reasons for the successful expansion of the personal influence exerted by heads of state? Is it the political personality of the office holder rather than ‘structural’ reasons determined by the political system? Or is it the popular attitudes held towards politics and politicians? We saw that the answers to these questions can be different. Now we can try to draw some general findings.
