Parliamentary Thinking

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the evolution of parliamentary politics, this book explores its foundational principles through a thought experiment. Drawing on Max Weber's ideas and the historical context of the Westminster parliament, it examines parliamentary procedures and rhetoric. The author defines the ideal type of parliamentary politics across five chapters, addressing aspects like debate dynamics, government control, and the role of parliamentarians. The final chapters discuss the potential for extending parliamentary judgment beyond traditional settings and the relevance of parliamentary politics in contemporary society.
