Who Gets What? The Importance of Ministerial Budget in the Allocation of Portfolios in Presidential Multiparty Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
How influential is the president’s advantage in cabinet formation in presidential systems? Do presidents receive more and the most important portfolios? What factors lead to a more or less disproportionate distributions of portfolios? In this study, I suggest answers for these questions through a theory in which the disproportional allocation of portfolios can be explained by the privileged position of presidents as the permanent formateur of the cabinet, and also due to the absence of a vote of no-confidence in presidential systems. The results suggest that the president’s party has an advantage in the share of the portfolios, and over which portfolios it controls. Also, the size of the president’s party in the legislature only matters for the amount of the ministerial budget the president’s party controls.
