Recruitment to legislative office is one of the core functions of
political systems, yet we know little about how the process varies
from one country to another. Passages to Power provides a
comparative account of legislative recruitment which applies a
common analytical framework and new survey data to nineteen
advanced democracies. Legislative recruitment refers to the
critical step as people move from lower levels of politics into
parliamentary careers. Who succeeds in becoming a politician? Who
fails? And why? Based on original research which adopts a 'new
institutionalist' perspective, this 1997 book compares these issues
in a wide range of countries. This important study brings together
an outstanding group of international scholars to look at
recruitment around the world. The countries examined in depth
include Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, Japan, the
Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United
States, along with a comparison of all member states in the
European Union.
