In this work were analysed factors, which influence formation, stability and efficiency of minority government in Lithuania. First chapter (“government formation, stability and efficiency concept”) dealt with the theoretical notions about government forms, minority government formation factors, ideas about stability and efficiency. In the second chapter (“minority government formation process in Lithuania: factors influence”) were analysed positive parliamentarism, parliamentary fragmentation, presidential powers and polarisation of party system. Third chapter (“minority government termination and stability”) explored variables that are crucial for this government stability. First of all, in this chapter the termination of the 14 th Lithuanian government was analysed and then was made research of stability. This research was made with three main variables – party system fragmentation, polarisation (out - parties included), prime ministers forces to influence government stability and voters volatility with the variable of out - party strategy.
