Parliamentary Socialisation

Understanding Governance series

Understanding Governance encompasses all theoretical approaches to the study of government and governance in advanced industrial democracies. It has three longstanding objectives: 1. To understand the process of change 2. To develop theory to explain why change occurs 3. To set this change and its causes in comparative perspective. The series includes titles that adopt post-structural and post-modern approaches to political science and challenge notions such as hollowing-out, governance, core executives, policy networks and the new institutionalism. It also publishes material with traditional institutional and historical approaches to topics such as prime ministers, ministers, the civil service and government departments. All titles meet not only the conventional standard of theoretical and empirical rigour but also seek to address topics of broad current interest that open the field of study to new ideas and areas of investigation. Titles include: Michael Rush and Philip Giddings PARLIAMENTARY SOCIALISATION Learning the Ropes or Determining Behaviour?
