| Title | Discretionary Powers of Head of State in Parliamentary Republics: Study on Indirectly Elected Presidents in Armenia, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia |
| Summary | The conventional understanding regarding heads of state in parliamentary republics is that indirectly elected presidents are merely ceremonial figures similar to monarchs in parliamentary monarchies. This work further contributes to the scholarly works that tried to challenge this traditional assumption. Studying indirectly elected presidents in Armenia, Estonia, Hungary, Georgia, and Latvia the work focuses on three presidential powers: legislative (veto and promulgation), pardon, and referendum powers. The study demonstrates the diversity of institutional arrangement choices even within the five countries that went through similar historical dynamics and questions overly generalized assumptions. |
