Legislative Behaviour in Comparative Perspective

Abstract

One of the primary responsibilities of a legislature is to enact laws, so understanding how legislative outcomes are influenced is a crucial aspect of legislative activity. This Panel examines the role and actions of various parliamentary actors, such as parliamentary groups, backbenchers, ministers, and committee chairs, in the legislative process. We want to understand the factors that drive the legislative behaviour and the effects of their actions.
