The Impact of Legislatures brings together key articles and
path-breaking scholarship published in The Journal of Legislative
Studies during its first 25 years of publication, enabling the
reader to make sense of the impact of legislatures in the modern
world. Encompassing theory, comparative analysis, and county-based
empirical studies, the volume examines the impact of legislatures
as the key representative institutions of nations, addressing their
relationships both to government and to the people. Legislatures
are ubiquitous. They provide legitimacy to measures of public
policy and to government. As such, they are key to how a nation is
governed. But they do much more than confer legitimacy. They are
generally multi-functional and functionally adaptable bodies, and
are an essential link between citizen and government. However,
scholarship on them has not been extensive and has often been
descriptive and country- specific, limiting the capacity to make
sense of them as a particular species of institution. The chapters
in this volume reflect scholarship that helps the reader appreciate
the significance of the place and consequences of legislatures,
examining not only the relationship between the legislature and the
executive, but also the oft-neglected relationship between
legislatures and the people. Reflecting the growing body of
research in the field of legislative studies, carried by The
Journal of Legislative Studies since its inception in 1995, The
Impact of Legislatures is essential reading for anyone wishing to
understand the impact of legislatures in the world today.
