Key Features and Benefits

"Time and Politics" offers a unique perspective on the historical development of parliamentary procedures. The book highlights how an increasingly rigorous time discipline and a growing awareness of modernity contributed to the erosion of traditional parliamentary debate rules. This transformation led to a shift in evaluating parliamentary effectiveness, with efficiency becoming the ultimate criterion by the 1880s. The book also demonstrates how this new understanding of parliamentary effectiveness was disseminated to the colonies through communicative networks, empowering colonial parliamentarians to view inefficiencies in their legislatures as part of a larger transnational issue.

• Unique historical perspective
• Insightful analysis of procedural reform
• Transnational implications for colonial governance
