Semi-Presidential Policy-Making in Europe

More about the book

Focusing on the dynamics of power-sharing in semi-presidential regimes, this book examines the crucial role of institutional coordination in executive policy-making. It analyzes how the relationship between the president and prime minister affects presidential activism and power balance. By developing a framework rooted in institutionalism and exploring four research strands—semi-presidentialism, public administration, political leadership, and foreign policy—the authors apply their findings to Lithuania, Romania, and Finland, aiming to propose solutions for effective governance in similar political contexts.
