Legislatures and Multilevel Settings

Abstract

National parliaments have received the bulk of attention while considering the study of legislatures. However, in a given country may exist other legislative levels than the national. Identically, a huge body of academic literature has been developed regarding cross country realities at the international level being a good example of it the European Union. Political institutions in multilevel settings, within the state, and that also have legislative power, may have a significant but less analyzed role in the overall legislative activities of a country. In this panel, we seek theoretically driven and empirical (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed proposals) contributions and aim at integrating papers whose regional basis plays a role in the overall stage of legislative realities. Papers on all the aspects of legislative behavior of actors, such as political parties, citizens, regions, lobbies, among other possible examples related to this level of analysis, are welcome.
