商品簡介
Loewenberg (emeritus, political science, U. Iowa and director of its Comparative Legislative Research Center) takes a global and historical view, summarizing half a century of research into legislative bodies. Both academic and well written, it explores topics including the nature of collective decision making and the sometimes contradictory expectations of the public. Two chapters are devoted to different research methods and the extent of scholarly success. Photographs and images such as layouts of the British House of Commons, U.S. House of Representatives, and the German Reichstag are included.
