British and American Systems of Government

By (author) Malcolm Walles






| book description |

The United Kingdom and the United States might at first seem like incongruous subjects for a joint study. However, historic links, evolutionary rather than revolutionary development, a common language and a special relationship combine to justify the study of these two styles of representative democracy. This introductory text, while providing the reader with a clear grasp of these two systems of government, will prove most valuable as a comparative text used in conjunction with single-country studies. Contents: Introduction; The societies; Constitutions; The spread of representation; Political parties; Legislatures; Executives; The bureaucracies; Group activity; Courts and politics; Government beyond the centre; Bibliography; Appendix: The Constitution of the USA; Index^R
