Minority Policy

Rethinking Governance When Parliament Matters

Beschreibung

Topical and up-to-the-minute, Minority Policy explores the influence marginal parliamentarians have on public policy. Prominent policy cycle theory tends to overlook the influence of marginal parliamentarians on public policy. Minority Policy argues that these influences not only have important implications for the outcomes of public policy, but also for the work of scholars, policy makers and advocates.
