Presidents with Prime Ministers: Do Direct Elections Matter?
Tavits, Margit (Assistant Professor, Washington University, St. Louis.)
Using both quantitative and qualitative empirical evidence from democratic systems across the world, this book demonstrates that compared to indirect selection methods, direct elections do not yield more active and contentious presidents, do not polarize political elites or society, and do not remedy political apathy.
