Legislative Assemblies : Voters, Members, and Leaders
By whatever name they are known (Parliaments, Legislatures, or Assemblies, to name but three) legislative assemblies in democratic societies face the twin challenges of institutional capacity and accountability to their citizens.In addressing these challenges, assemblies vary in the extent to which they serve the respective interests of three critical sets of actors: their members, party leaders, and voters.In this book, Shane Martin and Kaare W. Strøm identify three ideal types of democratic assemblies - the members' assembly, the leaders' assembly, and the voters' assembly - and analyze national legislative assemblies in the world's 68 most populous democracies, from Finland to Papua New Guinea, in light of these models.Based on extensive new cross-national data, they trace the implications of the three assembly types for the design, internal organization, resources, and powers of democratic national assemblies, develop indices of each assembly type, and score each of the 68 legislative assemblies on these indices.The analysis of legislative re-election rates in these countries reveals that the fate of incumbents depends on member resources as well as on leadership control, but is ultimately constrained by voter confidence.In conclusion, the authors discuss the past and future trajectories of legislative assemblies, including their susceptibility to democratic backsliding.

Data Rights Law 3.0 : The Legislative Prospect

Gendering Legislative Behavior : Institutional Constraints and Collaboration
In democracies, power is obtained via competition. Yet, as women gain access to parliaments in record numbers, worldwide collaboration appears to be on the rise.This is puzzling: why, if politicians can secure power through competition, would we observe collaboration in Congress?Using evidence from 200 interviews with politicians from Argentina and a novel dataset from 23 Argentine legislative chambers over an 18-year period, Gendering Legislative Behavior reexamines traditional notions of competitive democracy by evaluating patterns of collaboration among legislators.Although only the majority can secure power via competition, all legislators - particularly those who do not have power - can influence the policy-making process through collaboration.Tiffany D. Barnes argues that as women have limited access to formal and informal political power, they collaborate more than men to influence policy-making.Despite the benefits of collaboration, patterns of collaboration vary among women because different legislative contexts either facilitate or constrain women's collaboration.

What is the legislative process?
The legislative process is the procedure through which laws are proposed, debated, and enacted by a legislative body, such as a parliament or congress. It typically involves several stages, including the introduction of a bill, committee review, floor debate, and voting. The process allows for input from various stakeholders, amendments to be made, and ultimately a decision to be reached on whether the proposed law should be enacted. Once a bill is approved by the legislative body and signed into law by the executive branch, it becomes legally binding.

What is a legislative emergency?

Does the legislative have the power?

In a democratic system, the legislative branch is typically made up of elected representatives who are responsible for representing the interests of the people and creating laws that reflect the will of the population.

How does the legislative process work?
The legislative process begins with the introduction of a bill in either the House of Representatives or the Senate. The bill goes through committee hearings, where it is debated, amended, and voted on. If the bill passes out of committee, it is then debated and voted on by the full chamber. If the bill passes in one chamber, it moves to the other chamber to go through a similar process. If both chambers pass the bill, it goes to the President to be signed into law or vetoed.

EU Regulations in Practice : Legislative and Judicial Approaches
This book fills a gap in the existing literature by providing a thorough assessment of EU regulations as a source of secondary legislation and their application in all twenty-seven Member States.It also explores that application in neighbouring countries.EU regulations are perceived as the strongest and the most effective sources of EU secondary legislation and it is well-established by the Court of Justice of the European Union that their provisions have vertical and horizontal direct effect.Part 1 of this book examines these points, providing a backdrop to the analysis in the remaining chapters.Parts 2 and 3 focus on the national reception of EU regulations in Member States, and in selected neighbouring jurisdictions.Written by leading practitioners and academics, the book offers both a conceptual underpinning to this element of the European Union’s law-making, as well as its practical application.

Parliaments and Legislative Activity : Motivations for Bill Introduction
Martin Brunner aims at solving the puzzle of why opposition parties or government backbenchers propose legislation even though the chance to influence policy outcomes in this manner is almost nil.He argues that instead of influencing policies directly most parliamentary bills serve different purposes: They are used in order to signal own policy positions and to show alternatives to government policies. Or they point at topics that rank high on the public agenda but low on the government agenda.They can also be a means for individual Members of Parliament to build up an independent personal profile.Using formal models and comparative empirical evidence from Belgium, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom the author shows that parliamentary initiatives of opposition and backbenchers are not simply “much ado about nothing”, but the result of vote-seeking motivations.
