“…The main empirical analysis will focus on the changes in legislative strength. The dependent variable for the main analysis is legislative strength, that is, "the accumulation (or absence) of different powers of legislatures vis-à-vis the executive" (Wiebrecht 2021(Wiebrecht , p. 1078. This concept has been operationalized in different ways, most prominently perhaps with the help of the Parliamentary Powers Index (PPI) (Fish 2006).…”

“…Yet, the PPI only allows for cross-sectional analyses and does not account for variation within regimes across time. Nevertheless, relying on V-Dem data, recent scholarship has been able to observe changes in legislative strength over time both, in authoritarian regimes as well as in democracies (e.g., Wilson and Woldense 2019; Coppedge et al 2021; Wiebrecht 2021).…”

“…While the patterns observed do not amount to anything like a full-blown opposition mode in parliamentary democracies, Simison's findings clearly suggest that the government or opposition status of legislators matters, with pro-government and opposition legislators behaving differently, and focusing on different areas when introducing bills (Simison 2022). According to a study by Felix Wiebrecht (2021) which uses a large-N cross-sectional research design (1946–2000), the existence of an opposition is conducive to more de jure and de facto powers of authoritarian legislatures; however, importantly, the oppositions’ electoral strength is not linked to legislative strength. This echoes other research which suggests that small rather than big oppositions (among other factors) tend to favour parliamentary initiative and a legislative function of authoritarian parliaments.…”

“…Однако есть значимые препятствия к окончательному слиянию фракций в неразличимое целое. Во-первых, сами легислатуры за пределами отношения к режиму и за рамками принципиальных для него вопросов могут иметь собственное политическое значение (Wiebrecht, 2021;Williamson and Magaloni, 2020), потому что у элит могут быть разные предпочтения в отношении результатов политики . Государственная Дума регулярно отклоняется от модели «печатного станка», становясь «полем битвы элит» между заинтересованными сторонами (Noble and Schulmann, 2018, pp.…”
