These newly democratized parliaments have been described as \"parliaments in adolescence\". \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was previously published as a special issue of the \u003cem\u003eJournal of Legislative Studies\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Norton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415495237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415495233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.68lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.46d","brand":"Philip Norton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136093040895,"sku":"9780415495233","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7bb4bf64-e311-4bc4-954c-941fde13203e.jpg?v=1770160461","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/post-communist-and-post-soviet-parliaments-philip-norton-9780415495233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
