Perfecting Parliament: Constitutional Reform, Liberalism, and the Rise of Western Democracy
Congleton, Roger D. (George Mason University, Virginia)
This book explains why contemporary liberal democracies are based on historical templates; why the transition in Europe occurred during a short period in the nineteenth century; how interests, ideas, and pre-existing institutions affected the reforms adopted; and why the countries that liberalized their political systems also produced the Industrial Revolution.
