(CC BY-NC-ND 3.0) Ed -I DOI: 10.2478/pof-2018-0013 VOLUME 10, ISSUE 2, 2018 Abstract This special issue publishes a number of conference papers presented at the conference ‘Representing Regions, Challenging Bicameralism’ that took place on 22 and 23 March 2018 at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. In this issue, the developments of European bicameral parliaments in (quasi-)federal states are dealt with as well as the political impact of shared rule and alternative models to second chambers. Several papers compare the organizational and functional design of territorial second chambers. Finally, closer examination is given to the EU’s Committee of Regions and the second chambers in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.

A study of how the Kennedys extended their influence across south-west Scotland and acquired an earldom has never been undertaken. This thesis aims to fill the significant gap in our understanding of how lordship operated in this region. In particular, analysis of the interactions between the Kennedys and the earls of Carrick, usually the monarch or his heir, demonstrates that the key factor in their success was their policy of close alignment and support of the crown.

It represents an intensive study, interrupted by World Wars I and II and now since my retirement from the Army, it has been full time. In my first book there were three points of dispair, all of which have now been resolved. (I) The name of the vessel in which Andrew Hannay came to America. (2) Locating the de­ scendants of the first son James and (3) The names of Andrew's forbears. It contained a record of Andrew Hannay and his de­ scendants, and information on the various branches in Scotland as found in the publications of the "Scottish Records Society", "Whose Who", "Burk's" and other authorities such as could be located in various libraries. Also brief records of several families of the name that we could not at that time identify. Since then there have been published two books on the family.

Working Paper of the Program on Arab Reform and Democracy at CDDRL. About the Program on Arab Reform and Democracy: The Program on Arab Reform and Democracy examines the different social and political dynamics within Arab countries and the evolution of their political systems, focusing on the prospects, conditions, and possible pathways for political reform in the region. This multidisciplinary program brings together both scholars and practitioners - from the policy making, civil society, NGO (non-government organization), media, and political communities - as well as other actors of diverse backgrounds from the Arab world, to consider how democratization and more responsive and accountable governance might be achieved, as a general challenge for the region and within specific Arab countries. The program aims to be a hub for intellectual capital about issues related to good governance and political reform in the Arab world and allowing diverse opinions and voices to be heard. It benefits from the rich input of the academic community at Stanford, from faculty to researchers to graduate students, as well as its partners in the Arab world and Europe.

  • Andrew and James Melville As James VI And
    “Your Best and Maist Faithfull Subjects”: Andrew and James STEPHEN Melville as James VI and I's KING “Loyal Opposition” Résumé : Bien que moins connue des chercheurs que celle de 1604, la con- férence qui eut lieu en 1606 à Hampton Court entre le roi James et ses ecclésiastiques anglais et écossais proéminents produisit néanmoins un effet immédiat sur la pratique monarchique de James Stuart en Angleterre. À la conférence de 1606, et pendant les six mois suivants, James puisa dans son éducation précédente et son expérience comme roi d'Écosse pour s'engager activement dans des débats avec les pasteurs presbytériens Andrew et James Melville. Au moyen de cet engagement soutenu avec son « opposition loyale », il se définit pour ses sujets anglais en tant qu'un monarque puissant mais résolument voué au dialogue, à la tolérance et à la recherche du moyen terme. hat means did James Stuart, as a foreigner, use to define his style of Wruleand articulateittohisnewsubjectsintheearlyyearsofhisEnglish reign? At least part of the answer lies in what might be termed the “Second Hampton Court Conference,” a meeting between James and his preeminent Scottish and English ecclesiastics in September 1606, whose immediate result was a series of sporadic meetings that took place at various locations until April 1607.1 In recent years, several scholars have identified factors that contributed to James's development of a public rhetoric and policy in both Scotland and England: Mark Fortier argues for the centrality of legal discourse to James's practice of rule;

  • Voting in the Bicameral Congress: Large Majorities As a Signal of Quality
    Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization Advance Access published June 26, 2012 JLEO 1 Voting in the Bicameral Congress: Large Majorities as a Signal of Quality Matias Iaryczower* Department of Politics, Princeton University Gabriel Katz University of Exeter Sebastian Saiegh Department of Political Science, UCSD Downloaded from We estimate a model of voting in Congress that allows for dispersed information about the quality of proposals in an equilibrium context. In equilibrium, the Senate only approves House bills that receive the support of a supermajority of members of the lower chamber. We estimate this endogenous supermajority http://jleo.oxfordjournals.org/ rule to be about four-fifths on average across policy areas. Our results indicate that the value of information dispersed among legislators is significant, and that in equilibrium a large fraction of House members’ (40–50%) votes following their private information. Finally, we show that the probability of a type I error in Congress (not passing a good bill) is on average about twice as high as the probability of a type II error (passing a low-quality bill). (JEL C11, C13, D72, D78). 1. Introduction by guest on June 27, 2012 One of the main arguments for bicameralism is that a bicameral legislature can improve the quality of public policy vis-a` -vis a unicameral system (see (Tsebelis and Money 1997), and references therein). Evaluating the quality of proposals is indeed a key consideration in legislative settings. As numerous examples and a vast literature show (see Krehbiel 1991), two key points seem to be largely uncontroversial. First, most issues decided in Congress have a common value dimension, be it the technical merit of the proposal or its appropriateness for the given state of the environment.
