Semi-Presidentialism

Sub-Types and Democratic Performance

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Robert Elgie examines the relationship between semi-presidentialism and democratic performance. There are over 50 countries with a semi-presidential constitution. This book shows that the president-parliamentary sub-type is more likely to be associated with a poorer democratic performance than its premier-presidential counterpart.
