 Call for Papers
Less than fifty years ago Duverger (1970) brought to political science the concept of semi-presidentialism. The concept had sufficient staying power and enough empirical support to become one of the key concepts, alongside presidentialism and parliamentarism, in the analysis of political systems. The increasing number of semi-presidential regimes suggests that the time of this regime type has come (Shugart 2005). Moreover, the recent history of the post-communist countries suggests that despite Linz's (1994) warnings regarding semi-presidentialism, this regime type seems to have a specific role in the transition from authoritarianism to democracy (Elgie and Moestrup 2008)
