Abstract: The chapters included in this volume have documented the institutional structures that have grown up around presidents and prime ministers. No matter whether the chief executive is considered extremely powerful, as is the President of the United States, or structurally rather weak, as is apparently the Prime Minister of Denmark, there has been a growth of the institutional resources that help these executives exercise power over the other components of government. In almost all cases there has been a gradual accretion of power and responsibility towards the office of the chief executive, and also some apparent waning of the powers of other institutions.
