Institutions on the Edge: The Origins and Consequences of Inter-Branch Crises in Latin America - Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics
Helmke, Gretchen (University of Rochester, New York)

This book shows that concentrating power in the executive branch not only fuels presidential crises under divided government, but also triggers broader constitutional crises that cascade on to the legislature and the judiciary.
