Filling an important gap in legislative studies, this book is the first to illustrate how executives draft and negotiate bills before they are submitted to parliaments. A carefully selected sample of cases, from a range of states (unitary states/federations/old and new democracies) allows for general principles to be established. Experts from each state ensure the collection draws on well-established national practice. Essential reading for legal and political science scholars and civil servants engaged in drafting.
