<\/a>Abstract:<\/span><\/strong>
<\/bdo> Political systems differ in terms of governance, administration, and the relationship between the executive authority and other state authorities, and according to the role of the president in normal and exceptional circumstances, and his constitutional duties at home and abroad. This results in a difference in the way he is elected, in the conduct of public affairs, the administration of state institutions, the implementation of public policies, the protection of citizens\u203a rights, the securing of his share of wealth, and the expression of himself and his desires.\n With the dawning of the post-colonial era in Africa in the 1950s, the \u201chegemonic presidency\u201d became a fixture in the continent\u2019s political landscape, through the exercise of enormous, unfettered powers, spanning the broad spectrum of the public sector.\nThe \u201cpresident\u2019s powers\u201d are still a matter of controversy in the renewed constitutional amendments, hesitating between strengthening and consolidating the position of the president, or limiting and curtailing his powers.\n This study comes to focus on the role of the executive authority in terms of political stability and peaceful coexistence, to monitor some of the effects of the president\u203as powers on the political, economic, and social reality...etc., in Africa, and to reveal the connection between the president\u203as powers to the crisis of constitutional institutions, through discussing two essential points: What is the extent of the authorities of the African president in the basic laws? And what are their implications on public life in Africa?\n<\/span><\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
