Synopsis
Explores the implications of recent research on the U.S. Congress for legislative research outside the United States, Although a great deal is known about the United States Congress, the differences and similarities between it and the legislatures and parliaments of other countries have not been extensively studied. This book--by a distinguished group of legislative specialists from ten countries--fills this gap by presenting legislative research from a comparative, cross-national perspective. Consisting of fourteen essays, this volume incorporates major areas of legislative research, including studies of recruitment of legislators and an overview of their careers, the evolution of legislatures, and the electoral systems by which legislatures are chosen. Each contributor reviews the principal research findings and emphasizes those concepts and methods that facilitate comparative research. The book assesses the state of knowledge in regard to U.S., European, Asian, and Latin American legislatures. The introductory chapter by the editors identifies how to comparatively test research findings while taking into account data availability and questions of conceptual equivalence. Each chapter provides an extensive bibliography, making the book an excellent guide to literature on legislative research. The contributors are David T. Canon, John M. Carey, Gary W. Cox, Frantisek Formanek, John R. Hibbing, Ewa Karpowicz, Junko Kato, Sadafumi Kawato, Michael Laver, Gary F. Moncrief, Chan Wook Park, Werner J. Patzelt, Bjorn Erik Rasch, Kenneth A. Shepsle, Steven S. Smith, and Rick K. Wilson. This book is designed for faculty and graduate students in political science and will also be of interest to members of legislative research staffs in this country and overseas, and to specialists on legislatures in history and law. Gerhard Loewenberg is University of Iowa Foundation Distinguished Professor of Political Science. D. Roderick Kiewiet is Dean of Graduate Studies and Professor of Political Science, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. Peverill Squire is Professor of Political Science, University of Iowa.

    The seller shipped the item in a timely manner, however there was an error in the listing about the gauge of wire. Even with that the seller went out of their way to give a full refund despite not accepting returns and my already having opened the package before checking, without hesitation. You can't ask any more than that from a seller. Very good customer service. I appreciate the quick response and action!

    Package arrived as advertised with perfect packaging. The item was in excellent condition, true LEGO quality, looked exactly as described (even better in person), and feels like a great value for the price. I’m really pleased with both the quality and appearance of the item, as well as the contents inside. The seller double-wrapped everything. I would definitely buy from this seller again.

    This seller was great!!! Accepted my lower offer and shipped it quickly, with perfect packaging and a great condition! It was exactly how it looked and was perfect for what they priced it at! I am glad that there was not even a rip in the plastic wrap, and that it was as new as described. I would recommend this seller due to their good practices and such!
