Assembly Confidence Democracies II

Abstract

We cannot examine the consequences of institutions without knowing about their origins. This panel seeks to bring together papers that examine the origins of institutions of assembly confidence regimes. These include the very feature that defines such regimes – the emergence of assembly confidence – but also features such as the investiture vote, the confidence vote, the package vote, exclusive government initiative, and so on. The panel is open to papers regarding methodology and geographic coverage, but we especially encourage applications from people who examine less-known cases and who adopt an explicitly historical perspective, whether analysing one single case, a small number of cases, or a large dataset.
