Abstract

The edited collection explores the perceptions and memories of parliamentarianism accross Europe, examining the complex ideal of parliament since 1800. Parliament has become the key institution in modern democracy, and the chapters present the evolution of the ideal of parliamentary representation and government, and discuss the reception and value of parliament as an institution.
Examining the history of parliament through concepts and ideals, this book traces a transnational, European exchange of models, routines and discourse.
