| description | The author deals with the theoretical and methodological problems of comparative research of semi-presidential systems in Central and Eastern Europe. The first part of the article outlines three strands of interpretation that refute Duverger’s concept of semi-presidential system as a political system sui generis. The second part presents the maximalist and minimalist perspectives on semi-presidentialism in the contemporary literature of political science. The third part addresses the problems of conceptual stretching, selection bias, vaguenesses of typologisation and denominational confusion accompanying comparative studies of semi-presidential systems in two European transition regions. The fourth, and fi nal, part puts forward the author’s own approach to conceptualisation and typologisation of semi-presidential systems. |
