Description:This book sheds new light on the often shadowy, but essential role of committees, which exist in modern parliaments around the globe, and it questions the conventional notion that the 'real' work of parliament happens in committees.Renowned country specialists take a close look at what goes on in committees and how it matters for policy making. While committees are seen as the central place where policy is made, they often hold their sessions closed to the public and calls for transparency are growing. To understand this black box it is necessary to look within but also beyond the walls of the committee rooms and parliament buildings. Bringing together formal and informal aspects, rules and practices shows that committees are not a paradise of policy making. They have great relevance nonetheless: as crystallization points in the policy networks, as drivers for division of labor and for socialization and the integration of MPs.The new insights presented in this book will be of key reference to scholars, students and professionals interested in or related to parliamentary affairs, legislative studies, government, and more broadly to comparative politics, political analysts, journalists, and policy makers.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
