Description - Second Chambers by Nicholas Baldwin

Notwithstanding the fact that among the parliaments of the world, 38 per cent have Second Chambers (67 out of 179), Second Chambers themselves have only rarely been the focus of attention from politicians and have almost totally been ignored by academics. Some long-established second chambers have, on occasions, been under considerable pressure to modernize and reform, such as the House of Lords in the United Kingdom. They often play a major role in political and governmental affairs, such as in Germany; and many have very significant political power, such as the Senate in the United States. This book sets about examining the nature of Second Chambers.
