“…A similar situation is common for Georgia since 2013, since an unsuccessful vote of investiture in a cabinet leads to the dissolution of parliament and authorisation of the previous cabinet. Instead, in another group of countries (Armenia in 1995-2018, Belarus since 1996, Bulgaria since 1991, Croatia since 2000, Georgia in 2004-2013, Russia since 1993, unsuccessful votes of investiture in cabinets still lead or previously led to formation of permanent or interim cabinets, dissolution of the legislatures and their early elections. In contrast, the choice between dissolution and early elections of parliaments or interim cabinets' formation was previously common in Poland (1992Poland ( -1997 and Turkey (2007Turkey ( -2018.…”

The article demonstrates that the rules and practices of cabinet formation and investitures should be taken into account to better grasp the variety of semi-presidentialism in Europe. This is extremely important, since semi-presidentialism as a constitutional system of government (primarily according to a minimalist approach to the definition) is the most common form of inter-institutional and political relations in European countries. The former is most often understood as a constitutional design of inter-institutional relations with a president popularly elected for a fixed term, as well as with a cabinet headed by a prime minister who are collectively responsible to parliament. Thus, not only presidents and parliaments, but cabinets too play a crucial role in the constitutional and political practice of semi-presidentialism, since the latter are collectively responsible to parliaments (or simultaneously to presidents), but are characterised by distinctive parameters of formation. The assumption and hypothesis are that options of cabinet formation and inter-institutional relations in this regard can structure European semi-presidentialism, even without affecting the definition of this constitutional design, but probably depending on the roles and powers of presidents and parliaments in cabinet formation, as well as types of semi-presidentialism regarding the consideration of who can dismiss the cabinet. Based on comparison and systematisation of the cases of European semi-presidentialism, it is justified that cabinet formation (including within various types and consequences of parliamentary votes of investiture in cabinets, as well as their absence) is typically focused on a junction of relations between presidents and parliaments, and are likely to serve as a classification indicator of semi-presidentialism. This is important for constitutional engineering, since detailing the optionality of semi-presidentialism as a constitutional design and system of government, particularly regarding cabinet formation, should extend the horizons, as well as systematise the idea of the options and effects of various institutional designs (in addition to presidentialism and parliamentarism) and political regimes (including democratic, autocratic and hybrid).

Bu çalışma Türkiye’nin 1876’dan bugüne hükümet sistemini araştırmaktadır. Türkiye’de hükümet sistemleri genelde darbeler ve liderlerin inisiyatifi ile değişmiş, cumhurbaşkanları ve başbakanların güç ilişkisine bağlı olarak karakter kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmada hükümet sistemleri literatürüne ek olarak, hükümet sistemlerini ortaya çıkaran tarihî arka plan, anayasalara yansıyan hukukî boyut ve siyasi arenadaki fiilî işleyiş göz önünde bulundurularak dört boyutlu perspektiften sistem okuması yapılmıştır. Bulgular Türkiye’nin hemen hemen tüm hükümet sistemlerini tecrübe ettiğini göstermektedir. Şöyle ki, Türkiye’de 1876’ya kadar monarşi, 1876-1920 arası yarı-monarşi, 1920-1923 arası meclis hükümeti, 1923-1960 arası karma sistem (kuvvetler birliği fonksiyonlar ayrılığı), 1961-2007 arası parlamenter sistem, 2007-2014 arası yarı-başkanlık (başbakancı-başkanlık formu) sistemleri uygulanmıştır. Başkanlı-parlamenter sistem de 1923-1950 ve 2014-2018 dönemlerinde fiilî olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. 2017’den itibaren ise başkanlık sistemi uygulanmaktadır. Muhalefetin sisteme yönelik eleştirileri ve yeni sistem önerileri Türkiye’de sistem arayışının devam edeceğini göstermektedir. Çalışma bu eleştiriler, vaatler ve arayışın değerlendirmesi ile neticelendirilmiştir.

“…Roper (2002) made use of this idea and advanced the labels into mutually exclusive categories. It is an important step from the discussion of semi-presidentialism as a mixed-type, to these now widely accepted subtypes of the colorful semi-presidentialism category (see, for a different perspective, Magni-Berton, 2012).…”

Why are some institutions capable of enhancing democracy, while others struggle under pressure? Shugart and Carey wrote their seminal book Presidents and Assemblies at a crucial time in modern history in an effort to answer these fundamental questions. Because of bold claims and huge theoretical and conceptual contributions, their timely publication became the starting point for a new way to think about institutional specifications and types of political systems. And although their examples are by now dated, the idea of “trade-off” or “balancing efficiency and representativeness” still speaks to the fundamental questions of regime change and democratic sustainability. While their study made clear that there are distinctions between system types, they also argued that not a specific type is more conducive or damaging to democracy; rather specific institutional configurations lead to a vulnerability of a political regime. Twenty-five years after the first publication of Presidents and Assemblies, this special issue uses this argument and reconnects Shugart and Carey’s book with the recent debate on individual attributes of legislative–executive relations and their effect on democracy. This article serves as an introduction and highlights the rationale and the major themes that run through the contributions to the special issue.
