Variable: Parliamentarism

QoG Code: (gtm_parl)


Dataset: Centripetal Democratic Governance

Description:

The parliamentary/presidential distinction is conceptualized as a continuum with two dimensions: (a) the degree of separation (independence) between president and parliament (unity = parliamentary, separation = presidential) and, if there is any separation at all, (b) the relative power of the two players (the more power the president possesses, the more presidential is the resulting system). This complex reality is captured with a three-part coding scheme:

  1. Presidential
  2. Semi-presidential
  3. Parliamentary
