THE PRESIDENTIALIZATION AND THE PERSONALIZATION OF PARTIES
Rettorato – sala “Organi Collegiali”
What actually makes a President of the Republic a leader in (semi) presidential regimes? And when, if ever, is it possible that a party leader, once he or she has become the head of government in a parliamentary regime, can come close to the style of leadership in similar cases in which the separation of powers exists?
If the institutions influence the behavior of politicians, and thus of the parties, it is necessary to understand and explain if and in what way it is possible to refer to ‘presidentialized’ party organizations outside of the institutional context that defines its characteristics: the presidential regime.
