The powers of monarchs in constitutional monarchies
Research Topic
Political economy of unelected political actors
Although contemporary theories on democracy place a special significance on the role of elections, some unelected political actors possess substantive political power. My research seeks to theoretically explore under what conditions unelected political actors can exercise political powers and where their political powers come from. My specific focuses are on monarchs and civil advocacy groups.
