This collection provides shorts descriptions (prime ministers, tenures and partisan compositions) of European governments over the years. The country set doesn't include Andorra, Liechtenstein, Malta, Monaco and San Marino. European CIS countries, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Russia and Ukraine, have been excluded either because the executive cabinets are not generally lined up through parliamentary/partisan arrangements but by presidential decision. The page includes three no longer existing countries, Czechoslovakia, East Germany and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia/Serbia and Montenegro. Check the countries at the Political Leaders database. Look for biographies of the leaders (in Spanish) at CIDOB website.
