Zusammenfassung
Se hace una evaluación del desempeño del presidencialismo en perspectiva comparada con el parlamentarismo en tres dimensiones: 1) en la generación de conflictos o situaciones de bloqueo entre ramas de gobierno, 2) en la quiebra de la democracia y 3) en las interrupciones prematuras de mandato. En cada una de las tres dimensiones resumo los argumentos teóricos a favor y en contra y evalúo la validez de las evidencias empíricas existentes. El artículo sostiene que tenemos buenos argumentos y evidencias para pensar que, a igualdad de condiciones, el presidencialismo exhibe un desempeño inferior al parlamentarismo en todos los componentes evaluativos. Luego, argumento que la explicación de estas diferencias podemos encontrarlas en el �efecto� que la variable �forma de gobierno� introduce en el sistema político.
