Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This Study examines the presidential leadership in Taiwan's semi-presidintialism. The presidential leadership is partly a function of his partisan power, because the constitution gives limited legislative power to the president. Although the new electoral system for legislative elections, single-member districts and proportional representation, was introduced in 2008, the importance to win the personal vote in the legislative elections still weakens party discipline. The president is not necessarily able to assume a strong leadership, even if he enjoys a unified government and is also the head of the ruling party as a result of the party reform. Also, the party caucuses’ negotiation, as a legislative institution, has led to enhance the influence of the Speaker of Legislative Yuan in the policymaking processes, which forms a cause of constraining the presidential leadership.
