This book gathers the most influential authors on role research and
legislative studies to examine the different roles that MPs are
playing in modern-day legislatures. It provides a comprehensive and
critical overview of current research on legislative roles,
summarises previous research, presents a large variety of
methodological approaches and also explores the latest developing
approaches to role theory. The concept of political roles has
become increasingly relevant for understanding contemporary
political systems. Parliamentary, legislative and representative
roles are professional roles that provide a way of connecting the
individual legislator to their institution that can also explain a
legislator's attitude and behaviour. Drawing upon case studies with
as much as 40 years of data that include Germany, the Netherlands,
UK, Austria, Hungary, Australia, New Zealand and the European
Parliament, this book examines the link between representative
roles, different institutional settings and parliamentary
behaviour. It argues that the roles MPs play depend of who they
think they should represent; between their voters, their party, the
people of their country and also themselves, conflicts of loyalty
can occur. This book provides a framework to analyse MPs' choices
by searching both the reasons for their views about representation,
and the consequences of those views in parliament. Parliamentary
Roles in Modern Legislatures will be of strong interest to students
and scholars of government, legislative studies, political parties,
comparative politics, political sociology and deliberative
democracy.
