Introduction -- 1. Institutional designs and prospect of democracy -- 2. Why presidentialism is dangerous: An institutional perspective of the attitudinal foundation of political violence in democracy -- 3. Presidentialism and violent attitudes: Evidence from the World Value Survey -- 4. Presidentialism and violent behavior: Evidence from the Asian Barometer Survey -- 5. Presidentialism and democratic crisis: A two-step examination of the global democracies.
This book tackles the perennial debate about whether presidentialism is associated with democratic breakdown. We find evidence that presidentialism could contribute instabilities to a democratic system, though it does not directly follow that those instabilities will trigger a democratic breakdown.
