This book, newly available in paperback, examines the extent to
which semi-presidentialism has affected the process of
democratization in Central and Eastern Europe since the early
1990s. The standard academic wisdom is that semi-presidentialism,
where there is both a directly elected president and a prime
minister who is responsible for the legislature, is a risky choice
for nascent democracies because of the in-built potential for
conflict between the president and the prime minister. This book
demonstrates that semi-presidential regimes can operate in quite
different ways, some with very strong presidents, some with strong
prime ministers and ceremonial presidents and some with a balance
of presidential and prime ministerial powers. In particular, the
book analyses the specific impact of the various forms of
semi-presidentialism that can be found in Central and Eastern
Europe. With chapters on Bulgaria, Croatia, Lithuania, Macedonia,
Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia and
Ukraine, the book explores whether some forms of
semi-presidentialism are more conducive to democratisation than
others. It also looks at how semi-presidentialism may have helped
democracy to survive and examines its impact on government
performance in terms of stability and policy-making. -- .
