Book Description
The role of the senate has changed much in recent years and—judging by the amount of recent public discussion on its role—might change even more in the future. This new study, the theoretical framework and theoretical discussion of which lift it out of the merely descriptive, contains a great deal of well-marshalled new material, from manuscript and ephemeral sources as well as from the printed Senate Debates Journals, and Reports of Committees. Little is generally known about the Senate, and of what little, much is erroneous. Professor Kunz's mass of detail and factual data, along with his evaluation of second chambers and of the performance of the Canadian Senate in particular, will do much to remedy this situation.

Protecting Canadian Democracy
Author: Canadian Centre for Management Development
Publisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773525939
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
In recent years Canada's Senate, Parliament's chamber of sober second thought, has often been the subject of controversy and calls for reform. Protecting Canadian Democracy examines the history, role, and evolution of the Senate; places it in the context of other federal systems; and contrasts its role with that of provincial governments. Contributors analyse the Senate's use of its legislative powers, comparing it with the House of Commons, and assess the Senate's contribution to public policy development and review, showing how the upper chamber functions as a forum within Parliament for the representation of Canada's diverse regional, linguistic, cultural, and socio-economic interests. contending that the Senate should be improved by means that do not require formal amendments to the Constitution. The authors identify possibilities for reform the institution within the current constitutional framework, addressing the Senate's veto power, its appointment process, and its legislative independence. A valuable appendix of charts and statistics on the composition and operation of the Senate is also provided.

Random Selection in Politics
Author: Lyn Carson
Publisher: Praeger
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
How might the entire citizenry of a country make the decisions that affect them? Carson and Martin provide the first accessible and comprehensive overview of random selection as a possible process for transforming our modern political systems. Building on the theoretical work of the likes of John Burnheim and Fred Emery and drawing on their own work with social action groups, they outline a set of methods that go beyond the mere tapping of community opinion to reveal not only preferences but a more active role in creating the community. Random selection, as Carson and Martin show, has been used in community participation in short-term decision making and long-term planning. It can be a powerful tool in the development of local, federal, and international policy. An important and innovative look at government decision making, this will be of primary interest to scholars and researchers in political theory and electoral systems, as well as political activists and reformers.
