New Perspectives on Parliamentary Power - Some Nordic Evidence

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine perspectives and empirical results in some recent literature on aspects of power - or influence - of parliaments in the Nordic countries. The paper moves from the level of parliament itself via parliamentary committees and party groups to the level of individual MPs. On the whole, we find that the various arenas and actors on the four levels of analysis are important or influential, but the parliamentary party groups appear especially relevant and significant one way or another.
