Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book offers an examination of the idea of representation and the institutional realities that shaped it in early modern Europe and European America. Contributors demonstrate how a country's history, society, and national experience dictate how representation is realized in political institutions, including parliaments, riksdags and reichstags. |
