Parliamentarism by William Selinger
Offering novel interpretations of canonical liberal authors, including Burke, Constant, and Mill, this history of liberal political ideas suggests a new paradigm for interpreting the development of modern political thought, inspiring fresh perspectives on historical issues from the eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries.
'Political theorists interested in the history of ideas, constitutional theory, and comparative constitutionalism will want to read this … Highly recommended' M. J. Dudas, Choice
'Selinger's book is not only a fresh reading of intellectual history intended for professional historians but also a call to rethink our current visions of the so-called liberal democracies in the light of the parliamentary tradition.' Ján Tomaštík and Jan Holzer, International Journal of Parliamentary Studies
