Focussing on legislatures in democratic nations or in territories that are parts of democratic units, the book features case studies on Malta, Bermuda, Jersey, Guernsey, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Lesotho, Liechtenstein, the Isle of Man, Commonwealth Caribbean, Nunavut (Canada), Pacific islands, Swaziland, and Scotland. Contributors employ an interdisciplinary approach to examine both the outcomes and causes of different political mechanisms, and bring to the surface underlying correlation between small states through their analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLegislatures of Small States will be of interest to students and scholars of international politics, comparative politics and legislative studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Baldwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415538335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415538336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Nicholas Baldwin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086621061375,"sku":"9780415538336","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b8f39ff6-0ef6-453f-97ce-4193aa8241ac.jpg?v=1769095697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/legislatures-of-small-states-nicholas-baldwin-9780415538336","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
