520 _a"Very little research has been conducted on how parliamentary oversight is undertaken in small countries and jurisdictions or across the southern Africa region (excluding South Africa). This ground-breaking book fills that void, providing rich insights into how oversight works in these countries. Featuring an expert group of scholars and practitioners the book builds off previous research projects to offer detailed case study examinations of oversight across various global regions, including various Australian and Canadian jurisdictions, UK Crown and Overseas dependencies, Caribbean Islands, autonomous Nordic territories, Southern Africa, and several Pacific island states. Contributors present the most recent data on current developments in the world, including sub-national parliaments, drawing on primary research and first-hand experiences to offer greater theoretical and practical understanding into practices that could be adapted to improve oversight, governance, reduce corruption, and boost economic development. Enhanced Parliamentary Oversight will be an important book for practitioners, governments, and both scholars and students of legislative studies, international relations, and public administration"--
