Abstract:

The status and power of the executive branch in a republican system are determined by the form of State governance. Accordingly, the role of the Prime Minister is also different. The Constitution of Georgia reinforces the cabinet principle of government formation, activity and termination of powers, characteristic of parliamentary democracy, which implies the unified formation of the government by the Parliament and, in turn, the unified responsibility of the government before the Parliament. Accordingly, the procedure for the responsibility and dismissal of individual ministers is not provided for, which serves to ensure the stability of the government.

The Government of Georgia is the highest body of the executive branch, which implements the country’s domestic and foreign policy. Its authority in the field of implementing State policy is universal, since its jurisdiction includes the full range of executive powers, such as foreign relations, State finances, State security, defense, economy, environmental protection, regional development, education, culture, healthcare, and others.

Present study is oriented to demonstrate the peculiarities of governance models, the scope of interpretation of constitutional norms and the essence of the challenges related to the latter. The dissertation work used general scientific research methods, among which logical thinking, systemic, case analysis, comparative-legal, descriptive, historical and normative research methods should be distinguished.

Finally, the article evaluates the constitutional standard established by the three-pronged division of power and the governance model in relation to the status of the executive branch and the scope of authority of foreign representation.
