Description
Summary:	Shin discusses the cabinet duration in presidential democracies. Many observers believe that presidents need a stable cabinet to consistently carry out their programs. Where cabinet dissolution is common, it is hard for the president to execute long-term programs, such as economic development plans and social welfare programs, which usually weakens citizen support for the government. Most theories about cabinet dissolution derive from the experience of Western European parliamentary democracies.
