O QUE SIGNIFICA FIGUREHEAD EM INGLÊS

Figura principal

Figurehead

Na política, uma figura de proa é uma pessoa que detém de jure um título ou escritório importante, de fato, executa pouco poder real, mais comumente limitado pela convenção e não pela lei. A metáfora deriva da figura de proa esculpida na proa de um veleiro. Outras figuras são o imperador Akihito do Japão, ou presidentes em algumas repúblicas parlamentares, como o Presidente da Índia, o Presidente de Israel, o Presidente do Bangladesh, o Presidente da Grécia, o Presidente da Alemanha, o Presidente do Paquistão e o Presidente da República Popular da China. Embora a autoridade de uma figura de protuberância seja geralmente simbólica ou cerimonial, a opinião pública, o respeito pelo escritório ou o titular do escritório e o acesso a altos níveis de governo podem dar-lhes influência significativa sobre os eventos. Nesses sistemas de governo onde o chefe de Estado é, em prática, uma figura de proa, eles também são geralmente os comandantes principais das forças de defesa da nação. Às vezes, uma figura de proa pode ser explorada em tempos de emergência.

In politics, a figurehead is a person who holds de jure an important title or office yet de facto executes little actual power, most commonly limited by convention rather than law. The metaphor derives from the carved figurehead at the prow of a sailing ship. Other figureheads are the Emperor Akihito of Japan, or presidents in some parliamentary republics, such as the President of India, President of Israel, President of Bangladesh, President of Greece, President of Germany, President of Pakistan, and the President of the People's Republic of China. While the authority of a figurehead is in practice generally symbolic or ceremonial, public opinion, respect for the office or the office holder and access to high levels of government can give them significant influence on events. In those systems of government where the head of state is in practice a figurehead, they are also generally the titular commanders in chief of the nation's defence forces. Sometimes a figurehead can be exploited in times of emergency.
