What are the new transformations concerning the separation and collaboration of powers? Do distorted models and the hybridization of presidentialism and parliamentarism consolidate new forms of government? Is there a unique model of Latin American presidentialism?
The workshop pursues two core goals. The first is to compile a collection of papers that delve into the transformation of presidentialism and its degree of parliamentarization. The second is to explore the common cross-cutting concerns identified within these papers.
This workshop invites colleagues from around the world to debate the current transformation of political systems in normative and empirical terms. It also convenes for comparative papers grappling with the new challenges caused by the division of powers and the effectiveness of checks and balances embedded during such transformations.
