Part of the Library of Legislative Studies series
Paperback / softback
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.
