Legislatures are the core representative institutions in modern
democracies. Citizens want legislatures to be decisive, and they
want accountability, but they are frequently disillusioned with the
representation legislators deliver. Political parties can provide
decisiveness in legislatures, and they may provide collective
accountability, but citizens and political reformers frequently
demand another type of accountability from legislators - at the
individual level. Can legislatures provide both kinds of
accountability? This book considers what collective and individual
accountability require and provides the most extensive
cross-national analysis of legislative voting undertaken to date.
It illustrates the balance between individualistic and collective
representation in democracies, and how party unity in legislative
voting shapes that balance. In addition to quantitative analysis of
voting patterns, the book draws on extensive field and archival
research to provide an extensive assessment of legislative
transparency throughout the Americas.
