Description
INTRODUCTION Theoretical debates about constitutional designs of new democracies started from Linz's criticism on presidentialism based on his research of the Latin American experience. (1) According to him, presidentialism is a system that structurally produces conflict and instability, thus it becomes a cause of the breakdown of fragile presidential democracies. In contrast, a parliamentary form of government is very flexible, hence is conducive to stable democracy. (2) Since then, debates on constitutional choices have been actively progressed by counter-arguments of scholars preferring a presidential form of government. (3) Their theoretical arguments, however, simply compare constitutional designs and a particular regime's survival. In addition, their concerns are mainly limited to Latin America countries. Thus, it is necessary to extend their disputes into other cases of new democracies.
