| Title | Curbing Presidential Powers: Cases of Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey |
| Summary | An unlimited concentration of power in the hands of one person, namely a President may impose a certain number of dangers on society and state and this, therefore, should be prevented. Existing work analyses arguments of proponents and opponents of application various constitutional mechanisms that limit presidential powers. It examines the legal framework of presidential powers and possible means for curbing them from three different jurisdictions. Comparative analysis of cases confirms that instruments applied to limit presidential authority are not always useful. Politicians, who are wishing to stay in power indefinitely, may defeat these instruments through numerous tactics. The paper proposes a strict application of robust constitutional means altogether to guarantee prevention of potential risks through limiting presidential powers. |
