This book explores the development, decline and resurgence of
parliaments in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Although the three
parliaments formally have a common origin and follow almost similar
rules and procedures, substantial variations can be observed in
their behavior. By analyzing the nature of memberships, processes
of legislation and oversight of the executive, the book assesses
the impact of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi parliaments. In
addition to identifying the ways in which different institutional
actors, particularly the parliament and the judiciary, define their
roles and relationships, the book investigates the role of
committees and the significance and effect of female legislators.
While showing that the parliament in India has had a steady growth
since its inception, notwithstanding the allegation that it has
declined in recent years, the author also demonstrates the
differential performance of the parliaments in Bangladesh and
Pakistan. In particular, the parliament in Pakistan is shown to
likely be able to upgrade its status from a 'minimal' to at least a
'marginal' legislature, while the Bangladesh parliament risks
becoming a 'minimal' legislature. A valuable resource to use when
comparing strategies and outcomes of postcolonial developments in
the operation of parliaments, this book will be of interest to
academics in the field of political and economic development,
governance and South Asian Studies.
