Recent years have witnessed substantial work in the legislative studies field. But what do we know about legislatures today and are there clear criteria for comparing and classifying them? This is a new review of the state of our knowledge of parliament and tackles key questions: Do legislatures matter in legislative terms, and, if so, how much? What is the extent of the legislature’s control of the legislative process. How can we classify legislatures on the basis of their relative legislative performance. Five measures of the policy power of parliaments are applied in the country/region chapters.This book was previously published as a special issue of the leading Journal of Legislative Studies.

This book is unique in analysing the new Scottish Parliament from a systematically comparative perspective. Its basic premise is that since devolution in 1999 Scotland can be considered a Scandinavian-style democracy with several features of a Scandinavian-style parliament. The basic research question, therefore, is: 'Has the Scottish Parliament in its first four-year term manifested a Scandinavian-style politics in the sense that there has been a high incidence of inter-party negotiation within Parliament?'The architects of the Scottish Parliament saw the committees as the motor of a 'new politics' and gave them extensive powers. Outside Austria, only the Swedish and Icelandic committees have comparable powers. Accordingly, the study sets out to describe and analyse the workings of the committees in the Scottish, Swedish and Icelandic Parliaments. The concluding chapter also discusses the operation of the Danish, Finnish and Norwegian committees.

This book is about the distinctive features of Scandinavian democracy, the state of Scandinavian democracy and the classification of the Scandinavian democracies. It breaks new ground in challenging the established status of the Scandinavian countries as ‘consensus model democracies’. The book poses three main questions. First, what are the distinctive features of the five Scandinavian political systems when compared with the Westminster model of democracy? Next, how well does the evidence from recent commissions suggest that Scandinavian democracy is working in practice? Finally, is Scandinavian democracy consensual, majoritarian or mixed? The nature of legislative-executive relations is explored, with a particular focus on the role of the parliamentary opposition and its involvement in policy-making. The central conclusion is that all the Nordic states are majoritarian democracies, albeit with varying amounts of consensual legislative behaviour.

This completely revised and updated third edition of Scandinavian politics today follows the format of earlier editions by providing a uniquely comparative, thematic and insightful treatment of politics and government in the five nation-states of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, along with the three Home Rule territories of Greenland, Faeroes and Åland that together make up the Nordic region or Norden.Thirteen chapters cover Scandinavia past and present; parties in developmental perspective; the Scandinavian party system model; the Nordic model of government; the Nordic welfare model; legislative-executive relations in the region; the changing security environment and the transition from Cold War ‘security threats’ to the ‘security challenges' of today; and a concluding chapter looks at regional co-operation, Nordic involvement in the ‘European project’ and the Nordic states as ‘moral superpowers’.This new edition will be of relevance to topical UK debates on the Nordic model, welfare system change, Scottish independence and the challenges facing small-state systems in a globalised world.

Using case studies from five comparable countries, David Arter provides an insightful account of an historic group of parties who still wield distinctive strength in the Nordic region. This detailed profile, the first ever in English, makes a unique contribution to the topical issues of party adaptation and institutional modernization.

Mitä muukalaisella on kerrottavaa Suomen politiikasta?Oli synkkä ja ukkosmyrskyinen yö, kun englantilainen opiskelija David Arter saapui ensimmäistä kertaa Seutulan lentokentälle vuonna 1965. Pian hän työskenteli englannin kielen opettajana Imatralla. "Opin enemmän suomea kuin aikuisoppilaani englantia. Mutta heidän urheat yrityksensä selittää vuoden 1961 noottikriisin aiheuttamaa massapsykoosia saivat minut todella kiinnostumaan Suomen politiikasta", Arter sanoo.Politiikantutkija Arter kuvaa suomalaisen politiikan psyyken kehitystä 1960-luvulta nykypäivään. "Olen omistautunut Suomen politiikan tutkimukselle yli puoli vuosisataa", Arter toteaa. Tämä teos käsittelee muun muassa kahta jytkyä (1970 ja 2011), kahta juhannuspommia (1979 ja 2003), Julma-Juhaa sekä vuoden 1987 kassakaappisopimusta."Suomen politiikka on todella kiehtovaa, mutta sitä koskeva tutkimus on useinkin niin puisevaa että sitä lukiessa tahtoo nukahtaa." Kirjallaan David Arter haastaa hallitsevan tavan puhua politiikasta, jossa ei nähdä metsää puilta eikä kokonaisuutta voi kuvata ilman numeroita. "Olen haastatellut lukemattomia suomalaisia politikkoja, mukaan lukien seitsemää pääministeriä ja yhtä melkein pääministeriä eli Paavo Väyrystä."David Arter opettaa ja tutkii politiikkaa johtamiskorkeakoulussa Tampereen yliopistossa.
