Significantly, the book examines parliamentary reform through the lens of institutional theory, in order not only to describe reform, but also to interpret and explain it. It also draws on extensive interviews conducted with MPs and peers involved in the reform of parliament since 1997, thus offering a unique insight into how these political actors perceived the reform process in which they played a part.
Written by an emerging authority in the field, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the trajectory and outcome of the reform of parliament, along with an incisive and original interpretation of that reform and its implications for our understanding of British politics.
