Post-Communist and Post-Soviet Parliaments : The Initial Decade Hardback
Edited by Philip (University of Hull, UK) Norton, David M. Olson
Part of the Library of Legislative Studies series
Hardback
Description
The sudden collapse of communism stimulated both the rapid emergence of fledgling democracies and scholarly attention to the post-communist transition.
These newly democratized parliaments have been described as "parliaments in adolescence".
This book identifies six parliaments which exemplify the wide range of developments in the new post-communist political systems, from the stable consolidated democracies to the less stable and more authoritarian states, within which their respective parliaments function.
Finally the post-communist parliaments are compared with the presumptively more established west European parliaments.
This book bridges the usual gap in research between the post-communist parliaments and more "normal" democratic parliaments to develop a common legislative research perspective on both new and established parliaments.
This book was previously published as a special issue of the Journal of Legislative Studies.
