Focussing on legislatures in democratic nations or in territories that are parts of democratic units, the book features case studies on Malta, Bermuda, Jersey, Guernsey, Gibraltar, Hong Kong, Lesotho, Liechtenstein, the Isle of Man, Commonwealth Caribbean, Nunavut (Canada), Pacific islands, Swaziland, and Scotland. Contributors employ an interdisciplinary approach to examine both the outcomes and causes of different political mechanisms, and bring to the surface underlying correlation between small states through their analysis. Legislatures of Small States will be of interest to students and scholars of international politics, comparative politics and legislative studies"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aLibrary of legislative studies. 606 $aLegislative bodies$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aStates, Small$vCross-cultural studies 615 0$aLegislative bodies 615 0$aStates, Small 676 $a328 686 $aPOL000000$2bisacsh 701 $aBaldwin$b Nicholas$01498834 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786189003321 996 $aLegislatures of small states$93724495 997 $aUNINA
