Opis

This book provides the first cross-regional study of an increasingly important form of politics: coalitional presidentialism.

Recenzje

...the book presents a major leap forward in research on coalitional presidentialism and comparative studies of presidential politics alike. It presents an excellent and insightful analysis based on an unrivalled breadth and depth of quantitative and qualitative data...Given recent election results in several of the countries covered by this volume, it is clear that coalitional presidentialism is here to stay. As the first crossregional analysis of coalitional presidentialism to date, this book will hence undoubtedly serve as an inspiration and benchmark for future studies of this intriguing phenomenon.
