Recenzii
Review of the hardback: 'Party discipline is a key element in Westminster systems and Kam makes a major step forward in formalizing our understanding of this. An exceedingly thoughtful book.' Shaun Bowler, University of California, Riverside
Review of the hardback: 'This is a landmark text in the study of comparative parliamentary behaviour. It is the first book to develop and test a micro-level theory of internal party politics in parliaments using roll-call data from several parliaments. If Kam is right, that parliamentary parties are no-longer unitary actors and that party cohesion is fragile and conditional, this calls into question much of the established wisdom about how parliamentary government works.' Simon Hix, Professor of European and Comparative Politics, London School of Economics and Political Science
Review of the hardback: 'This is a major work. It brings the study of dissent in Westminster-style parliaments from anecdotage to data, and from data to analysis.' Iain McLean, Professor of Politics, Oxford University
Review of the hardback: 'This well-written book combines detailed descriptions with statistical analyses, making it an asset for scholars and practitioners of legislative behaviour.' Political Studies Review
'… a very important contribution to the study of legislatures. It is also an excellent example of the recent theoretical and empirical advances in the study of parliamentary politics in the UK … Kam's …empirical analyses are careful and convincing. His use of particular episodes of parliamentary life to test his hypotheses is particularly engaging. In addition, [his] comparative approach is one of the great strengths of his book; by harnessing evidence from various contexts, he can provide a firm footing for his theoretical arguments … [this] book fits well into [the] revival of interest in parliaments in Westminster systems and deserves to be widely read by anyone wishing to understand how legislatures work. Most importantly, the book suggests new avenues for further research into the activities of MPs and how voters respond to them.' Markus Wagner, Parliamentary Affairs
