Emphasizing formal institutional arrangements, this article compares executive-legislative relations in the four southern European countries of Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece. After describing these political systems' relevant institutional features, four areas of executive-legislative relations are analyzed: the power to dissolve parliament, to dismiss the government, to initiate legislation and to legislate through decree. Throughout the analysis, this study concentrates on patterns of similarities and differences that have emerged in institutional arrangements and formal processes of executive-legislative relations in these four countries
