This review is from: Electoral Laws and the Survival of Presidential Democracies (Hardcover)
Jones studies how democracies with a president might survive, where often these are countries with a fragile and short history of democracy. He focuses on Latin America, where in the 90s, military rule tended to be replaced by elected governments. The book goes into the interplay between a president and the parliament. In the process, Jones also investigates the difference in this relationship, when the legislature is unicameral or bicameral.
There are also differences in how the legislature is elected. By proportional representation or a winner takes all in each seat. His book could well do with an updating of the intervening 10 years. This is about double the time of existence of several of the democracies. Which, perhaps surprisingly, have all survived the interim. |
