Researching the Albanian Electoral System …
Group for Legal and Political Studies is conducting a research upon the electoral system of Albania, as part of the Assessing Democracy in the Western Balkans research project. The research being conducted will beg the answer to three phenomena that this respective electoral system might produce: first, the extent to which the quantitative party pluralism has been interfered, second, the potentiality of constraining the parliamentary democracy while favouring the bi-polar parties’ democracy, and third, the changing of the electoral behaviour that this system might pull out. In addition to these three research questions, there will be some efforts paid for ...
‘Assessing Democracy in the Western Balkans’ to start …
The Research Committee of the Group for Legal and Political Studies has commenced the Assessing Democracy in the Western Balkans research project. This research project is intended to assess the political behaviour and institutions in the Western Balkans countries from the perspective of democracy. In view of that, this research project will capture the extent to which the Dahl’s poliarchic institutions have been accepted by the political systems of these given countries. As such, this research project will develop a hypothetical ground that explains the rationale of the democratization’s degree in these countries, thus the scope to which the democratic ...
A Paper on Judicial-Constitutional Review Released …
There has been a paper on the Models of Judicial-Constitutional Review just released by the Research Committee of the Group for Legal and Political Studies. The paper discusses the phenomenon of judicial-constitutional review and the institutional models that perform that function. As a result, the paper seeks to build a hypothesis that explains the rationality of the two ‘most representative models’: the American and European one. In the end, the paper builds a hypothesis that shows the rationale of each of these models, arguing the linkage between the model of judicial-constitutional review chosen and the whole governing system’s structural rationality. ...
A Paper on the Models of Legitimation Published
Group for Legal and Political Studies published a paper on the Models of Legitimation, as part of the academic papers on political science fundamental issues. The paper discusses the aspect of prevalence or conflict between models of legitimation per se. Ultimately, the paper produces a hypothesis which says that, the balance between models of legitimation is the best possible consensus that might follow a polity and a political system, while the result would be a modern legitimacy. As such, the paper built the optimum balance between models of legitimation hypothesis. The paper can be downloaded here.

In addition to these three research questions, there will be some efforts paid for the interference that this electoral system has brought to the policy-based electoral campaigning, as of the last June 2009 parliamentary elections in Albania. The working papers produced as a result of this research, will be published in the Group’s web-site.

The Research Committee of the Group for Legal and Political Studies has commenced the Assessing Democracy in the Western Balkans research project. This research project is intended to assess the political behaviour and institutions in the Western Balkans countries from the perspective of democracy. In view of that, this research project will capture the extent to which the Dahl’s poliarchic institutions have been accepted by the political systems of these given countries. As such, this research project will develop a hypothetical ground that explains the rationale of the democratization’s degree in these countries, thus the scope to which the democratic level is sourced by the political actors will find an answer. In general, this research project is aimed at examining the democratic rank of the Western Balkans countries with a view towards their potential democratizing dynamic. Working papers produced for this research project will be published by the Group for Legal and Political Studies Press.

The paper discusses the phenomenon of judicial-constitutional review and the institutional models that perform that function. As a result, the paper seeks to build a hypothesis that explains the rationality of the two ‘most representative models’: the American and European one. In the end, the paper builds a hypothesis that shows the rationale of each of these models, arguing the linkage between the model of judicial-constitutional review chosen and the whole governing system’s structural rationality. Consequently, the paper argues that, the American model of judicial-constitutional review shows a higher potentiality for respecting and recognizing the legitimacy of the legislature’s acts.
