London: Palgrave Macmillan (published 15 May 2016). pp. 91–117. ISBN 978-1-137-38780-6. LCCN 2016939393. OCLC 6039791976. doi:10.1057/978-1-137-38781-3_4. Retrieved 13 October 2017. "LaPorte examines the dynamics of semi-presidentialism in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan’s regime is a curious hybrid, in which semi-presidential institutions operate in the larger context of authoritarianism. The author compares formal Constitutional provisions with the practice of politics in the country, suggesting that formal and informal sources of authority come together to enhance the effective powers of the presidency. In addition to the considerable formal powers laid out in the Constitution, Azerbaijan’s president also benefits from the support of the ruling party and informal family and patronage networks. LaPorte concludes by discussing the theoretical implications of this symbiosis between formal and informal institutions in Azerbaijan’s semi-presidential regime." Unknown parameter
