Resumo(s)
The systematic study of portfolio allocation in the Americas - the hiring and
firing of cabinet ministers and their consequences for the composition of the
government -started at the end of the 1990s, motivated, at least in part, by a
desire to examine the extent to which (Latin American)
presidentialism could
work as (European) parliamentarism. Challenging the traditional notion that
presidential regimes were prone to instability, this research built on analytical
tools developed in the context of parliamentarism, generated data on portfolio
allocation, and developed explanations specific to presidentialism. Progressively,
as the propositions on the perils and deficiencies of presidentialism were refuted
or moderated, attention turned to how presidential democracy actually works.
Hence, contemporary work has shifted attention from the similarities and differences
between constitutional regimes to the differences among presidential
regimes, including the organization of the executive.
