The concentration of power in the executive branch and the potential for abuse in new democracies is a central concern. Checking Presidential Power examines the levels of reliance on executive decrees in a comparative perspective, and Palanza describes the degree to which countries rely on executive decree authority as more reliance may lead to unbalanced presidential systems and affect democratic quality.

The concentration of power in the executive branch and the potential for abuse is a major concern in new democracies. This concern is particularly acute when it comes to the concentration of legislative power. Checking Presidential Power provides a comparative analysis of the levels of reliance on executive decrees. Building on the idea of institutional commitment, which affects the enforcement of decision-making rules, Palanza describes the degree to which countries rely on executive decree authority as more reliance may lead to unbalanced presidential systems and ultimately affect democratic quality.
This groundbreaking book breaks new ground by both theorizing and empirically analyzing decree authority from a comparative perspective. It examines policy-making in separation of powers systems and explains the choice between decrees and statutes. It also explores why legislators are sometimes deeply engaged in the legislative process and other times entirely withdrawn from it.
