Abstract

This topic is about the process of parliamentary democracy. The institute of dissolution of the assembly in the Republic of Kosovo is complicated by a complex procedure. Dissolution of parliament is one of the most serious tools that may be used by the executive power against the parliament, where such power can dissolve the legislative council before the end of the term provided under the Constitution (Al Momani, 2018). This study aims to analyze the institute of dissolution of the assembly in developing countries and emerging democracies. The research model was based on the comparative study and normative method. Furthermore, this study focuses on 1) making a review analysis of the institute of dissolution of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo, like a developing country; 2) identifying the differences and similarities between the institute of dissolution of the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo with that of Albania; 3) the most frequent reasons that leading to the dissolution of the parliament in Kosovo. The main findings of the study show that the most frequent reasons for the dissolution of parliament are weak parliamentary majorities in countries with developing democracies such as Kosovo and economic and political crises in the country as a result of economic and social problems.
