Partisan-motivated prorogation and the Westminster model
Recent cases of partisan-motivated prorogations of parliaments at the federal and provincial levels in Canada have focused attention on this phenomenon. While such prorogations are uncommon in the mature Westminster-style parliaments, the Canadian cases are not unique. Systematic study of partisan-motivated prorogations in the Australian states has illuminated the factors commonly associated with such cases. This paper outlines the results of thi…
Prorogation and partisanship in Tasmania and South Australia
The historical evolution of the Westminster Parliament left the constitutional power over the summoning, dismissal, and temporary suspension of that body in the hands of the sovereign. As ‘Westminster-style’ parliaments developed in Britain's colonies, this aspect of the prerogative came to be exercised by colonial governors. As ‘responsible government’ evolved in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, both at Westminster and in its progeny, co…
Federalism and Second Chambers—Regional Representation in Parliamentary Federations
As second legislative chambers are ubiquitous features of the institutional architecture of federations, they receive regular attention from those who study these political systems. However, while representation of the constituent-units of the federation in the central legislative structure is taken in federal theory to be a common function for such second chambers, the degree to which these bodies are able to fulfill this function in parliamenta…
Inter-institutional relations in the devolved Great Britain
The establishment of the Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales in 1999 was accompanied by the introduction of a new system of what is commonly referred to as ‘intergovernmental relations’ (IGR). Four themes emerge from an analysis of the early development of the British system of IGR: the executive dominance of relations; a reliance on both multilateral and bilateral mechanisms; an increasing predominance of informal relations; and …
Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations
Systems of intergovernmental relations are an intrinsic feature of multi-tiered systems of government. In executive-dominated, Westminster-style parliamentary federations, these relations tend to be co-ordinated by specialist agencies located near the centre of government. Such agencies, though small, have been established in the UK government as well as in the Scottish and Welsh devolved administrations. To date, pre-devolution norms of friendly…
