Title: Parlamentarismo o presidencialismo? : propuestas para el debate
First published: 1995
Description: "Includes essays by a noted politician (Ferrufino), a former politician turned political analyst (Ortiz Mercado), and a lawyer who writes opinion columns (Cristobal Urioste).  Each tackles the feasibility of replacing Bolivia's presidential system with parliamentarism.  While none suggests adopting parliamentarism, all agree that presidentialism is flawed and requires reform. Ortiz Mercado suggests abolishing the vice presidency and establishing a unicameral system, while Ferrufino notes that Bolivia's problems lie in the political parties more than in the presidential nature of the system. Offers succinct analysis of institutional problems facing Bolivia"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
