Oxford University Press - International Parliaments Study

Explore the evolving landscape of global governance with The Rise of International Parliaments by Oxford University Press. This academic study examines why international organizations establish international parliamentary institutions (IPIs) despite often limiting them to consultative roles. As more organizations bring together members of national parliaments or elected representatives, this book investigates the strategic reasons behind why member states create these bodies without granting them significant institutional power. It provides a deep look into the transformations in governance and the role of legitimacy within international organizations. This is an essential resource for those studying law, business, and international relations.
