Varid patterns of parliamentary and presidential government

The book deals with forty varied patterns of Government-
Parliamentary in Part I, Presidential in Part II and Parliamentary-
Presidential in Part III. While the theoretical aspects and essential
characteristics of the three forms of government have been discussed
in the Introduction, the last chapter in each part contains a compara-
tive overview of the exeeutives, legislatures, peculiar features of and
conclusions regarding the various patterns dealt within the preceding
chapters. Part IV contains a brief discussion of related aspects in
three chapters entitled : Patterns of Judiciary, Party Systems and
Overall Conclusions On the one band every effort has been made
to analyse the main organs of the varied patterns of government
covered by the volume, on the other hand an attempt has been
made to compare the essential features of the different forms and
varied patterns of government
We believe that the book will be found very useful and infor-
mative not only by the senior students of government in the univer-
sities but also by the legislators and parliamentarians of the different
countries interested in the subject. We gratefully acknowledge our
