Firstly, it explores the intricate dynamics of competing legitimacies within the executive and legislative branches, highlighting the potential risks and challenges posed by such power dynamics. Secondly, it examines the critical issues of institutional design, particularly focusing on semi-presidentialism and its implications for governance. Lastly, it sheds light on the rise of executive aggrandizement, examining how presidents have sought to expand their powers and influence within their respective countries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite the often intense political conflict and temporary instability prevalent in East and Southeast Asia, presidential systems of diverse types, ranging from pure forms to semi-presidentialism and hybrid variations, have demonstrated remarkable resilience. While there are indications of growing autocratization in certain instances, presidentialism, characterized by its blend of accommodation and conflict, has generally not been the primary driver of this trend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book makes significant contributions to the ongoing debates surrounding presidentialism, appealing to students and scholars of comparative politics. Moreover, it offers in-depth analysis of the presidency in these East and Southeast Asian contexts, providing valuable insights into the unique dynamics and challenges of presidential systems in this region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032075112\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104847098106,"sku":"9781032075112","price":133.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1667571873043_book.jpg?v=1668192776","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/presidentialism-and-democracy-in-east-and-southeast-asia-9781032075112","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
