This book challenges such Eurocentric visions by retracing the evolution of modern institutions of collective decision-making in Eurasia. Breaching the divide between different area studies, the book provides nine case studies covering the area between the eastern edge of Asia and Eastern Europe, including the former Russian, Ottoman, Qing, and Japanese Empires as well as their successor states. In particular, it explores the appeals to concepts of parliamentarism, deliberative decision-making, and constitutionalism; historical practices related to parliamentarism; and political mythologies across Eurasia. It focuses on the historical and"reestablished" institutions of decision-making, which consciously hark back to indigenous traditions and adapt them to the changing circumstances in imperial and postimperial contexts. Thereby, the book explains how representative institutions were needed for the establishment of modernized empires or postimperial states but at the same time offered a connection to the past.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9780367691271, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 licence. 517 $aPlanting parliaments in Eurasia, 1850-1950 610 $aSocial Sciences 610 $aSocial Science 676 $a328.509034 702 $aSablin$b Ivan$4edt 702 $aBandeira$b Egas Moniz$4edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831834403321 996 $aPlanting Parliaments in Eurasia, 1850?1950$94163185 997 $aUNINA
