Ever since Juan Linz’s works in the early 1990s, the advantages and disadvantages of executive systems have been submitted to a lively and sustained discussion. Most scholarly works including critiques on Linz’s have agreed that presidential systems have potential perils for their rigidity, dual legitimacy, divided governments and other winner-takes-all characteristics. Despite these problems, for the last two decades most democratic presidential systems have successfully survived without changing their constitutional frameworks. Coalition government has worked as one of the institutional solutions on the problems of presidential governments. Using the dataset of 63 presidential systems from 1996 to 2009, this paper confirms that coalitions governments have not been rare political phenomena under presidentialism, and even significantly related with better governance than unified governments. We also find that presidential run-off elections and PR system have positive effects while concurrent elections have negative effects on coalition formation.
