In the first half of the twentieth century, the power of
parliaments around the world declined. More recently a revival has
occurred, and parliaments have responded to the challenge with new
institutions that strengthen their powers. ""Parliament in the
Twenty-first Century"" is an authoritative account of the
development of the parliamentary committee system in Australia from
1970 to 2006. Drawing on detailed analysis of hundreds of committee
reports, and interviews with members of parliament, the authors
explore the implications the system has for both governance and
careers of parliamentarians. The authors particularly examine the
different roles of House of Representative and Senate committees,
and consider the impact of the Howard Government's control of the
Senate since mid 2005. ""Parliament in the Twenty-first Century""
is an invaluable resource for students of Australian parliament and
for all those interested in how parliamentary institutions adapt to
change.
