The book assesses the extent to which a new model of the presidency has emerged, catapulting the office out of its traditional, British-style deferential and monarchical niche into an assertive role similar to the non-executive but politically active presidencies of other European states.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Coakley, MRIA\u003c\/strong\u003e, is Emeritus Professor of Politics at University College Dublin and a fellow of the Geary Institute there.
