Reseña del libro "'policy Switching' - Evaluating Samuels and Shugarts Argument About Policy Switching in Presidential Systems for the Case Ecuador (en Inglés)"

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Politics - Political Theory and the History of Ideas Journal, grade: 1,3, University of Potsdam, course: Presidents and Prime Ministers, language: English, abstract: Policy-switching are situations which results from shifts in the behavior of executives.

I suspected that situations with close presidential elections and minority legislative were the main causes for the policy-switches in Ecuador. And, secondly, I assumed that all Ecuadorian policy-switches were the only option because the promised measures were impracticable under extremely worst e
