Part of the Politics Today series

Paperback / softback

Description

'Parliament Today' is an up-to-date textbook, explaining Parliament’s historical and constitutional context but focusing on how it operates in modern Britain and how it might be reformed. It looks at parliamentary government in theory and practice, drawing widely on academic research and making extensive use of Parliament’s own records.

Themes and concepts are illustrated by historical, recent and contemporary examples.

Where appropriate, comparisons are made with practice in other countries. Parliament is treated as a single political institution, at the same time drawing out the similarities and differences between Commons and Lords.

Boxes set out themes and concepts, figures illustrate the physical layout and tables provide detailed information on Parliament’s operation. 'Parliament Today' is intended for students of politics from A-level to final year undergraduates, but also for anyone interested in what Parliament does and how it works. -- .
