The Boolean Satisfiability Problem (SAT) is one of the most famous and widely-studied problems in Boolean logic. Optimization versions of this problem include the Maximum Satisfiability Problem (MaxSAT) and its extensions, such as partial MaxSAT and weighted MaxSAT, which assess whether, and to what extent, a solution satisfies a given set of problems. Numerous applications of SAT and MaxSAT have emerged in fields related to logic and computing technology.

This book provides the first cross-regional study of an increasingly important form of politics: coalitional presidentialism. Drawing on original research of minority presidents in the democratising and hybrid regimes of Armenia, Benin, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Kenya, Malawi, Russia, and Ukraine, it seeks to understand how presidents who lack single party legislative majorities build and manage cross-party support in legislative assemblies. It develops a framework for analysing this phenomenon, and blends data from MP surveys, detailed case studies, and wider legislative and political contexts, to analyse systematically the tools that presidents deploy to manage their coalitions.
