Parliaments and Government Formation explores the role of national
legislatures in shaping government formation in parliamentary
regimes. Under parliamentarism, the government comes from, and
remains responsible to, the national parliament. Yet, although
legislatures and the politics of government formation are two of
the most studied phenomenon in comparative politics, relatively
little attention has focused on the degree to which parliamentary
rules and procedures impact government formation. For instance,
exactly what does 'come from parliament' mean in the context of
government formation? To answer this question, the volume seeks to
'unpack' the parliamentary investiture vote. Investiture consists
of a vote in parliament to demonstrate that an already formed or
about to be formed government has legislative support. The volume
analyses investiture along six dimensions: (1) the number of
chambers involved in government formation, (2) the exact topic of
any investiture vote - for example whether the votes focuses on one
or more of the prime ministership, the cabinet and/or the
government's policy program, (3) the sequencing and timing of the
vote in the overall game of government formation, (4) the decision
rule - for example absolute majority, simple or some form of
negative parliamentarism, (5) the number of rounds provided for,
and (6) what happens in the event of a failure to invest a
government. Each of the 16 case studies, written by leading
scholars of legislative politics in their respective polities,
seeks to describe the institutional rules and practices and analyse
their origins and consequences. These case studies are supplemented
with two comparative chapters.
