DAWN - Letters; 17 July, 2004 Mr Shahid Javed Burki ("Evolving a new system", July 13) has made a case for restructuring the institutions of governance in Pakistan by introducing a semi-presidential system. On this point the present rebellion brought our republic to a severe test; and a presidential election occurring in regular course during the rebellion added not a little to the strain. Moreover, the semi-presidential system can suffer from 'hyper-presidentialism' in which the president comes to dominate constitutional and political domains. www.dawn.com /2004/07/17/letted.htm   (2715 words)

A Chronology of the Ruling Parties in the World For those countries which adopt a "Semi-Presidential" type of political system (such as the Fifth French Republic, Finland) or a political system under which the posts of President and Premier are occupied by different political groups (such as Serbia and Montenegro), the political parties of both the Presidents and the Premiers are listed. Under the "Presidential System" (of which USA is a typical example), this refers to the President.

Sample Chapter for Skach, C.: Borrowing Constitutional Designs: Constitutional Law in Weimar Germany and the French Fifth Republic. By 1980 (in English) and 1986 (in French), Duverger then moved in a more parsimonious direction and simplified his analysis by suggesting that all countries with semi-presidential constitutions would function politically, depending upon the president's relationship to the parliamentary majority, and the nature of that majority, simply like presidential or parliamentary systems of government. Writing at the beginning of the Fifth Republic, for example, Duverger was originally concerned about the democratic deficit of the new constitution. One of Duverger's early concerns with the constitution was that, of the five major institutions of the Fifth Republic's new governing system in 1958, only one (the National Assembly) was elected by direct universal suffrage. pup.princeton.edu /chapters/i8094.html   (3083 words)

Government of France The French constitution establishes a semi-presidential system, where the President of France has a strong influence, but where, ultimately, the deciding factor is the majority of the French National Assembly.
