“The chapters in this volume clearly establish the need for fuller, more consistent professional development training for legislators, and they will be of interest and practical benefit for parliamentary officials, political party representatives, academics and other third-party groups who may be involved in designing and delivering such programming.” (International Journal of Public Administration, February 8, 2021)
