The existence of noticeable 'unified' parties is central to the
theory and practice of democracy in general, and to parliamentary
democracy in particular. However, legislative studies scholars have
good reason to cease treating parties as monolithic, unitary
actors, for they evidently are not. The first step in this
direction is to ask why one of the distinguishing features of
modern political parties is their legislative unity. Do parties
enter parliament as unified actors, or are they moulded into this
model by the legislature? The answer depends on whether one is
looking at cohesion or at discipline. The goal of this collection
of articles is to present a conceptual delineation between these
two key concepts. This book was previously published as a special
issue of the Journal of Legislative Studies.
