Conclusion -- $tNotes -- $tBibliography -- $tIndex 330 $aThe 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. 606 $aLegislative bodies$zCanada$xReform 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / World / Canadian$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLegislative bodies$xReform. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / World / Canadian. 676 $a328.71/071 700 $aSmith$b David E.$f1936-$0458466 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456282803321 996 $aThe Canadian senate in bicameral perspective$92478459 997 $aUNINA
