Book Synopsis President, Prime Minister, Or Constitutional Monarch? by : Eugene Victor Rostow
Download or read book President, Prime Minister, Or Constitutional Monarch? written by Eugene Victor Rostow and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 1989 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper is divided into three parts: an introduction, a brief statement on the issues of constitutional theory involved, and comments on four recent controversies involving these questions: (1) the Iran-Contra affair; (2) the Intelligence Surveillance legislation passed after the Watergate scandal, and the revisions considered by the 100th Congress; (3) the proposals to amend the War Powers Resolution of 1973; (4) and the violent political conflict about the interpretation of the ABM Treaty of 1972, which is reflected in turn in the history of the ratification of the INF Treaty. These four recent episodes are simply conspicuous and dramatic examples of a large class of statutes and practices no one has yet mapped systematically. Comparable constitutional questions arise throughout the realm of governmental activity. Some are trivial, others merely annoying, others still are intrinsically important. What is certain, however, is that the power of congress is growing, and that of the President is being leached away.

Book Synopsis Presidents, Monarchs, and Prime Ministers by : Carsten Anckar
Download or read book Presidents, Monarchs, and Prime Ministers written by Carsten Anckar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-29 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last three decades, there has been a growing interest in systems that combine elements of parliamentarism and presidentialism. Despite the fact that much attention has been directed towards the semi-presidential form of government in particular, it is evident that many aspects of regime forms remain unexplored. This book systematically categorises democratic political regimes with a separate head of state and government (including regimes with a monarch and prime minister, and president and PM) globally and over a long historical period 1850–2019. It analyses how regimes with a dual executive emerge and what trajectories they follow. It also explores the stability of these regimes across time and space. An important feature of this endeavour is to address actual powers of the head of state rather than constitutional provisions.
Book Synopsis The English Constitution by : Walter Bagehot
Download or read book The English Constitution written by Walter Bagehot and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1966 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Bagehot's The English Constitution (1867) is the best account of the history and workings of the British political system ever written. As arguments raged in mid-Victorian Britain about giving the working man the vote, and democracies overseas were pitched into despotism and civil war, Bagehot took a long, cool look at the "dignified" and "efficient" elements which made the English system the envy of the world. His analysis of the monarchy, the role of the prime minister and cabinet, and comparisons with the American presidential system are astute and timeless, pertinent to current discussions surrounding devolution and electoral reform. Combining the wit and panache of a journalist with the wisdom of a man of letters steeped in evolutionary ideas and historical knowledge, Bagehot produced a book which is always thoughtful, often funny, and surprisingly entertaining.This edition reproduces Bagehot's original 1867 work in full, and introduces the reader to the dramatic political events that surrounded its publication.

Book Synopsis The Monarchy and the Constitution by : Vernon Bogdanor
Download or read book The Monarchy and the Constitution written by Vernon Bogdanor and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the increasingly questioning world of the 1990s, the role of the monarchy in a democracy is again coming under scrutiny. Its critics argue that the monarchy is a profoundly conservative institution which serves to inhibit social change; that it has outlived its usefulness; that it symbolizes and reinforces deference and hierarchy; and that its radical reform is therefore long overdue. Rejecting these arguments, Vernon Bogdanor makes a powerful case for the positive role that monarchy plays in modern democratic politics. Ranging across law, politics, and history he argues that far from undermining democracy, the monarchy sustains and strengthens democratic institutions; that constitutional monarchy is a form of government that ensures not conservatism but legitimacy. The first serious examination of the political role of the monarchy to appear in many years, this book will make fascinating reading for all those interested in the monarchy and the future of British politics.

Book excerpt: This book applies the broader debate in the field of political science over the advantages of a parliamentary system to the case of the United States. It asks whether it is better for a democracy to function under a parliamentary or presidential system. Using the example of a parliamentary alternative to the American presidential system, Checks and Balances? How a Parliamentary System Could Change American Politics illustrates how the Constitutional system of checks and balances functions, including the separation of powers and the legislative process.

Book Synopsis Delegation and Accountability in Parliamentary Democracies by : Kaare Strøm
Download or read book Delegation and Accountability in Parliamentary Democracies written by Kaare Strøm and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-19 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparative Politics is a series for students and teachers of political science that deals with contemporary issues in comparative government and politics. The General Editors are Max Kaase, Professor of Political Science, Vice President and Dean, School of Humanities and Social Science, International University Bremen, Germany; and Kenneth Newton, Professor of Comparative Politics, University of Southampton. The series is published in association with the European Consortium for Political Research. Today, parliamentarism is the most common form of democratic government. Yet knowledge of this regime type has been incomplete and often unsystematic. Delegation and Accountability in Parliamentary Democracies offers new conceptual clarity on the topic. This book argues that representative democracies can be understood as chains of delegation and accountability between citizens and politicians. Under parliamentary democracy, this chain of delegation is simple but also long and indirect. Principal-agent theory helps us to understand the perils of democratic delegation, which include the problems of adverse selection and moral hazard. Citizens in democratic states, therefore, need institutional mechanisms by which they can control their representatives. The most important such control mechanisms are on the one hand political parties and on the other external constraints such as courts, central banks, referendums, and supranational institutions such as those of the European Union. Traditionally, parliamentary democracies have relied heavily on political parties and presidential systems more on external constraints. This new empirical investigation includes all seventeen West European parliamentary democracies. These countries are compared in a series of cross-national tables and figures, and seventeen country chapters provide a wealth of information on four discrete stages in the delegation process: delegation from voters to parliamentary representatives, delegation from parliament to the prime minister and cabinet, delegation within the cabinet, and delegation from cabinet ministers to civil servants. Each chapter illustrates how political parties serve as bonding instruments which align incentives and permit citizen control of the policy process. This is complemented by a consideration of external constraints. The concluding chapters go on to consider how well the problems of delegation and accountability are solved in these countries. They show that political systems with cohesive and competitive parties and strong mechanisms of external constraint solve their democratic agency problems better than countries with weaker control mechanisms. But in many countries political parties are now weakening, and parliamentary systems face new democratic challenges. Delegation and Accountability in Parliamentary Democracies provides an unprecedented guide to contemporary European parliamentary democracies. As democratic governance is transformed at the dawn of the twenty-first century, it illustrates the important challenges faced by the parliamentary democracies of Western Europe.
