Power Fragmentation and Government Stability
under Semi-Presidentialism: A Comparative Study
of Taiwan and the Weimar Republic
Yu-chung Shen
AbstractTraditional studies about the government typologies generally focus on the
presidentialism and the parliamentarism. Maurice Duverger explained the political
structure of the French Fifth Republic using the concept of ‘‘semi-presidential
government’’ in 1976. It is a mixed typology between presidentialism and
parliamentarism. This paper tries to explain government stable under
semi-presidential government by the power fragmentation of the president, cabinet,
and parliament in the cases of Taiwan and the Weimar Republic. The government
may be more stability when the powers are more centralized. The Weimar Republic
has already worked with semi-presidentialism from 1919 to 1933. It is the ancestor
of semi-presidentialism and it is important for us to observe the workings of this
system. Taiwan’s semi-presidential system was created in 1997. In these few years,
the government is unstable and the party system has changed. This paper hopes to
contribute to the understanding of the focus on the concept of the semi-presidenti
alism.
Keywords: semi-presidentialism, power fragmentation, government stability,
Weimar Republic.
