The role legislatures play in the public policy-making process is
of central concern to political scientists. Conventional wisdom
claims that all legislatures except perhaps the US Congress are
either marginal to the policy-making process or becoming
increasingly so. In Legislatures in the Policy Process leading
specialists in comparative government reassess this view and
significantly advance research on the influence of legislatures. In
the opening chapter, David Olson and Michael Mezey identify three
categories of variables - external influences, internal influences
and policy attributes - which can affect the policy-making role of
legislatures. They specify sixteen hypotheses that describe the
relationship between these variables and the policy participation
of legislatures. In subsequent chapters, these hypotheses are
examined through a series of individual and comparative country
studies which focus upon the role of the legislatures in various
aspects of economic policy making. These include the influence of
the French, German, British and US legislatures on monetary policy;
the role of the Brazilian Congress and Indian Parliament in
computer and electronics policy and the part played by the Polish
Sejm in labour policy.
