an exceptionally intelligent book which brings to subject of
political institutions subtleties of interpretation which only
sound scholarship allows.
*Arthur Aughey, Parliamentary Affairs*
full of interesting insights and stories, and is rich in detail of
the operation of the political system in the chosen countries. The
way in which politicians appeal to the term Westminster is
revealing.
*Eoin OMalley, Political Studies Review*
Rhodes, Wanna and Weller...are interested in taking a new approach
to the comparative study of a well-known family of political
systems, which breaks from previous staid approaches. In doing so,
the authors have at the very least provided an up to date
discussion of how Westminster core executives currently operate,
and succeeded in making Westminster interested again.
