Abstract
Having examined the nature and extent of the support which the cabinet receives, we need now to turn to the key actors in the governmental decision-making process — the ministers — as well as to those among the ministers who can be expected to play an even greater part, the ministers of finance and the prime ministers. The role and influence of ministers of finance and of prime ministers will be analysed in the next two chapters; this chapter concentrates on those who might be described as ‘ordinary’ cabinet ministers in Central Eastern Europe.
