An analytical framework using institutional settings, situational factors and personal qualities as constitutive explanations is applied to investigate to what extent these explanations contribute as opportunities or constraints to either a transactional or transforming political leadership. The material used are debates, speeches, political guidelines and mission letters. The study concludes that institutional settings and situational factors are considered opportunities for a transforming political leadership. (Less)
