For the most part, semi-presidentialism is seen as being a risky choice for new democracies because it can create potentially destabilizing competition between the president and prime minister. And yet, there are now more than fifty semi-presidential countries in the world. Moreover, many of these countries are in Africa, the former Soviet Union and Asia, often in places where democracy has yet to establish a firm foundation.This study begins with a chapter that discusses the advantages and disadvantages of semi-presidentialism and provides the theoretical framework for a wide-ranging series of country chapters presented in the second part of the book. Written by country\/area specialists, the case studies highlight the political processes at work in young semi-presidential democracies.Semi-Presidentialism Outside Europe will appeal to those researching and studying in the fields of comparative politics, development and democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943947010336,"sku":"NEW0415663830","price":79.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/semi-presidentialism-outside-europe-routledge-research-in-comparative-politics-0415663830","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
