Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes various upper chambers around the world, providing a synthesis of their workings and effectiveness. Written at a time of considerable political upheaval in Britain, the author suggests that now, more than ever, the country must learn from the constitutional experiences of other nations. Much of the book is dedicated to comparing the upper house of the British Parliament with its international counterparts, with the author highlighting the unique characteristics of the House of Lords, such as its heavily hereditary composition, the great power of the House of Commons in comparison to other lower houses worldwide, and the unwritten nature of the British constitution. Through this comparative approach, the author seeks to provide lessons for Britain as it grapples with reforming its own upper chamber, arguing that a more democratic and representative body is necessary in order to maintain stability and legitimacy in the face of democratic advances.
