Legislatures evolve towards one of two procedural ideal types: talking (where governments control the agenda) or working legislatures (with powerful committees). All else being equal, legislators' demand for mega-seats on legislative committees triggers the evolution of working legislatures. If, however, legislators fail to centralize agenda control in response to anti-system obstruction, legislative procedures break down. Rather than a decline of legislatures, talking legislatures accordingly indicate the resilience of legislative democracy. In conclusion, the book shows the causal nexus between procedural reforms and (legislative) democracy." --Cover Výrazy tezauru demokracie * zákonodárný sbor * parlament * legislativní proces * Spojené království * Německo * Švédsko * Francie * 2. polovina 19. století * 20. století * 1. polovina 21. století Klasifikační znaky 0406 - Politický rámec 0421 - Parlament 0426 - Práce parlamentu ISBN 978-0-19-876691-9 Copy count 1, currently available 1 Document kind Monografie
