The book analyzes the presidencies of three neighboring Central
European countries - Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia - in
the context of their interactions with cabinets (and prime
ministers), parliaments and the constitutional courts, all which
have proved crucial actors in the region's political and
constitutional battles. Using both institutional and behavioral
perspectives along with an innovative definition of
semi-presidentialism, the book argues that presidential powers -
rather than the mode of the election of the president - are crucial
to the functioning of the regimes and their classification into
distinctive regime types. Focusing on intra-executive conflicts and
the interaction of the president with other constitutional players
it argues that, regardless of the mode of the election of the
president, regimes have traditionally been very similar not only in
their institutional settings, but also in the way they function.
Finally, it shows that Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia
should be classified as parliamentary regimes. This text will be of
key interest to scholars and students of Central and East Europe
studies/politics, post-Communist studies, presidential studies and
more broadly to political elites and institutions, comparative
politics and legislative studies.
