非洲国家建立两院制议会,尽管研究显示,它们往往巩固行政权力,削弱反对派。 African nations establish bicameral parliaments, despite research indicating they often consolidate executive power and weaken opposition.
许多非洲国家正在建立两院制议会,以加强民主,这与消除上院制的全球趋势相反。 Many African nations are establishing bicameral parliaments to enhance democracy, contrary to a global trend of eliminating upper chambers. 然而,最近的研究表明,这些上议院往往削弱反对派和巩固行政权力。 However, recent research indicates that these upper houses often serve to weaken opposition and consolidate executive power. 研究显示,当反对党获得席位时,设立新上院的可能性大大增加,这表明执政党可能利用两院制加强控制,而不是促进民主施政。 The study reveals that the likelihood of creating new upper chambers increases significantly when opposition parties gain seats, suggesting that ruling parties may exploit bicameralism to reinforce control rather than promote democratic governance.
