The Presidential Party

Abstract

Do presidents are – formally or not – the leader of their party? The control of the political party is the “key” variable in explaining most part of the political possibilities that presidents have in their political and institutional activities. The ability of the President in leading his/her own party will affect the kind and effectiveness of presidential power in dealing with his/her parliamentary group (either majority or minority), with the prime minister (if any) and with the ministers. Papers should consider the variation not only in institutional terms but also in political ones. The presidential win set would arguably vary on the base of the effective leadership of the party they are member. Comparative analyses between cases, countries, and over time are welcome.
