EXECUTIVE-LEGISLATIVE RELATIONS IN PARLIAMENTAR...

Analysing the conditions under which governments are more likely to present an executive law or
a government bill  this book addresses a central aspect of the decision-making process of
public policies. Drafting legislation is an important action to achieve specific policy goals 
and the path chosen for this process is part of governmental strategy. This book presents a new
theoretical explanation of how executives wield legislative power  based in a formal model. The
model is tested using new data from Portugal. It shows that in political systems where one of
the political actors has veto powers which can easily be overridden  the type of parliamentary
majority is the main consideration for the government's choice of legislative instrument. More
specifically  when a government does not have the majority in parliament it is more likely to
propose an executive law  and contrary  when a government has a majority in parliament  it is
more likely to propose a government bill.
