  Parliaments, which according to the then prevalent scholarly literature were expected to decline in significance in the decades of the 1960s and 1970s, actually have developed new and vital political roles and, in recent decades, have innovated in their institutional structure – most recurrently in their newly organised or invigorated parliamentary committees.

  The U.S. Constitution's central structural dilemma is the relationship between Congress and the president. The document itself provides little guidance for the day-to-day conduct of these relations.

A basic spirit of accommodation no doubt smooths policymaking, but the system's built-in counterweights are useful in …

  The consensus view of today's Congress — that its decentralized structure and dispersed power has pushed it to the edge of chaos — is badly in need of correcting.

Leading elements of this “new centralization” in congressional operations are described in this article. These include: c…
