THE PRESIDENTIAL INSTITUTION AND EXECUTIVE POWER IN THE THEORY OF THE SEPARATION OF POWERS: DOCTRINAL INTERPRETATIONS AND THE UZBEK MODEL

This article analyses the constitutional-legal essence of the presidential institution and of executive power within the theory of the separation of powers, drawing on historical-genetic, conceptual-legal and comparative-legal methods. It compares the Uzbek, post-Soviet and Western scholarly schools, introduces the concepts of the ‘unitary executive’ and ‘articulated governance’ into national scholarly discourse, and advances the author’s own theoretical and practical conclusions.
