About the Author Cornelia Ilie is Professor of Linguistics and Rhetoric, Malmö University, Sweden.
As one of the first Comparative studies in conceptual history, this volume focuses on debates about the nature of Parliament and parliamentarism within and across different European countries, representative institutions, and genres of political discourse.
Taking a broad historical perspective, this cross-disciplinary, innovative, and rigorous collection locates the essence of parliamentarism in four key aspects--deliberation, representation, responsibility, and sovereignty--and explores the different ways in which they have been contested, reshaped, and implemented in a series of representative national and regional case studies.
