Previously published as a special issue of the Journal of
Legislative Studies, this volume offers a broad comparative
assessment of the many faces of parliamentary opposition in
different political, legal and cultural settings. Issues of
political opposition, and of parliamentary opposition in
particular, are at the very heart of the study of democratic
processes in different parts of the world. Written by leading
scholars in the field, this book looks both at the core features of
the parliamentary opposition itself and its role in the legislative
and wider political process. This includes an inquiry into the
manifold challenges that the parliamentary opposition in many
countries has come to face in the more recent past, in particular
the rise of different non-parliamentary opposition actors. The
countries covered in this volume include the old democracies of the
Anglo-Saxon world, continental Europe and Japan, and the new
democracies and democratizing regimes in Central and Eastern
Europe, Latin America and South Africa. Another chapter looks at
the manifestations of parliamentary opposition within the
multi-level system of the European Union
