Item description from seller

Paperback. This book is the most comprehensive and authoritative study availoable of the contemporary House of Commons. It analyses the role of the Commons in the British political process, explains how and why it plays that role and consider how it may play a more effective role in the future. With clarity and conciseness, the author traces the historical development of the Commons, outlines the changes effected through the rise of political parties in the nineteenth century and emphasises the importance of parties within the Commons in the twentieth century. In addition to looking in detail at the functions of the House, the author examines its relationship to the decision-making bodies of government, the civil service and the European Communities and considers what kind of scrutinity the House rbings to bear on sectors such as the economy and foreign affairs. The book includes much new material on the important behavioural and structural changes of recent years. it also provides the first clear dissection of the contemporary movement for parliamentary reform, and Dr. Norton vigorously argues his own views as to how the Commons may more effectively perform in important and changing role in British society. 265 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.)light stain on edge.…
