Book Description

ISBN-10: 019829784X | ISBN-13: 978-0198297840 | Publication Date: January 29, 2004

This is the most ambitious and comprehensive account of the institutions of democratic delegation in West European parliamentary democracies to date. It provides an unprecedented cross-national investigation of West European political institutions from 1945 until the present day, as well as situating modern parliamentary democracy in the context of changing political parties and the growing importance of the European Union.
