A central concern about the robustness of democratic rule in new
democracies is the concentration of power in the executive branch
and the potential this creates for abuse. This concern is felt
particularly with regard to the concentration of legislative power.
Checking Presidential Power explains the levels of reliance on
executive decrees in a comparative perspective. Building on the
idea of institutional commitment, which affects the enforcement of
decision-making rules, Palanza describes the degree to which
countries rely on executive decree authority as more reliance may
lead to unbalanced presidential systems and will ultimately affect
democratic quality. Breaking new ground by both theorizing and
empirically analyzing decree authority from a comparative
perspective, this book examines policy making in separation of
powers systems. It explains the choice between decrees and
statutes, and why legislators are sometimes profoundly engaged in
the legislative process and yet other times entirely withdrawn from
it.
