The political systems that have replaced communist rule in
East-Central Europe and Eurasia are closely associated with their
presidents. The first democratically-elected presidents of these
countries - men like Yeltsin, Havel and Waesa - have frequently
been viewed as 'founding fathers' of their countries' independence.
But were they successful in creating strong presidential systems in
these states? Has their unquestioned personal power and charisma
been institutionalized in the presidencies? Will executive power in
postcommunist states remain the same when the first incumbents of
the office are gone? This book, first published in 1997, offers a
comparative analysis of the role of presidents in postcommunist
states. Comprising studies of Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakstan among
former Soviet republics, and Poland, the Czech Republic, and
Hungary among Central European states, this book will be required
reading for readers interested in how political leaders affect the
fate of democracy in the former communist world.
