Planting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850-1950: Concepts, Practices, and Mythologies - Paperback

by Ivan Sablin (Editor), Egas Moniz Bandeira (Editor)

Parliaments are often seen as Western European and North American institutions, and their establishment in other parts of the world as a derivative and mostly defective process. This book challenges such Eurocentric visions by retracing the evolution of modern institutions of collective decision-making in Eurasia.
