Abstract

Contemporary constitutional & political debates have for quite some time toyed with the concept of republican monarchy as a model that is becoming the common denominator of both presidential & parliamentary as well as mixed systems. Namely, the contemporary democratic state, regardless of its constitutional structure underlying it, has been asserting one of its aspects by which presidential, parliamentary, & hybrid regimes have been regaining the efficacy they forfeited in the late 1930s. In that respect, elected monarchs, ie, republican monarchies are characteristic for old as well as new democracies. In the text, the author gives the reasons for the emergence of republican monarchy, its forms, advantages, disadvantages, & offshoots. Adapted from the source document.
