Parliaments in Time by Michael Ko
This volume provides a comparative explanation of the institutional evolution of parliaments since the intensification of political competition in the last third of the 19th century.
Michael Koß has written a highly interesting and, despite all historical meticulousness oppressively timely book* Florian Meinel, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung *
Why has legislative democracy sometimes led to centralized, and sometimes to decentralized, committee-based parliaments? Broad in scope, bold in its claim, sophisticated in its theoretical argument, elegant in its exposition, meticulous in its historical process-tracing - Michael Koß has written a brilliant book that provides a novel, persuasive answer to an essential question. * Philip Manow, Professor of Comparative Political Economy, University of Bremen *
Michael Koß has pulled off a truly impressive feat: with historical depth, theoretical incisiveness, and awesome empirical scrupulousness, he gives us a new portrayal of the emergence of Europe's democracies. Through a careful and powerfully comparative telling of the institutional evolution of Europe's parliaments, we emerge with new appreciation for the details of how parliaments organize themselves. Legislative rules matter not only for legislatures but also for democracy itself. * Daniel Ziblatt, Professor of Government, Harvard University *
