Semi-Presidentialsim in Central and Eastern Europe

This book examines the extent to which semi-presidentialism has affected the process of democratization in Central and Eastern Europe since the early 1990s. In particular, the book analyzes 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 democratization 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.Elgie, Robert is the author of 'Semi-Presidentialsim in Central and Eastern Europe', published 2009 under ISBN 9780719075353 and ISBN 0719075351.
