Conclusion -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexThe Canadian Senate in Bicameral Perspective is the first book-length scholarly study of the Senate in over a quarter century and the first such analysis of the upper house as one chamber of a bicameral legislature. David E. Smith's aim is to demonstrate the inter-relationship of the two chambers and the constraint this poses for Senate reform. He analyzes past literature on the Senate and current proposals for reform ? such as Triple-E Senate ? drawing detailed comparisons between Canada's upper chamber and the upper chambers of Australia, the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom.There is a revival of interest and literature abroad in upper chambers and also in bicameralism. Using Parliamentary debates and committee reports, as well as a broad reading of comparative literature, The Canadian Senate in Bicameral Perspective sets the Canadian Senate into this international milieu, contextualizing the debate and arguing for a renewed investigation into its future.Legislative bodiesCanadaReformPOLITICAL SCIENCE / World / CanadianbisacshElectronic books.Legislative bodiesReform.POLITICAL SCIENCE / World / Canadian.328.71/071Smith David E.1936-458466MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456282803321The Canadian senate in bicameral perspective2478459UNINA
