Parliamentary sources in the comparative study of conceptual history: methodological aspects and illustrations of a research proposal
2009
Summary: This article proposes that historians and political theorists should exploit parliamentary sources to move from the writing of national histories to the comparative study of the conceptual history of European political cultures. Complementing the German lexicographical approach to conceptual history, the authors argue that parliamentary debates in several European countries provide more reliable sources for the past use of the language of politics. They emphasize the possibilities for the study of political history and the rhetoric of parliamentary institutions offered by the use of parliamentary debates side by side with the study of archival sources and published literature.

The issue of the secret ballot in the Cambridge and Oxford Union Societies, c.1830–72: an extension of the nineteenth-century parliamentary culture o…
2015
Summary. In this article, debating societies are considered as an inherent part of the formation of a parliamentary culture in Britain. Despite the fact that the nineteenth-century Cambridge and Oxford Union Societies were considered to be ‘training grounds’ for statesmen, their debating practices have not been systematically studied in relation to national politics. This is largely due to the fact that the role of debate has remained understated in studies of parliamentary history, even though it is one of the fundamental political features in the Westminster system. Nineteenth-century parliamentary debate did not just occur for its own sake, rather it had a constitutional and political di…
A comparison between three ideal types of parliamentary politics : representation, legislation and deliberation
2018
Representative, legislative and deliberative assemblies are commonly called parliaments. The three types of assemblies share many procedures and practices, and the Inter-Parliamentary Union includes all three types among its members. Nonetheless, as ideal types in the Weberian sense, the three kinds of political assemblies do differ in their modes of acting and thinking politically. This article is a thought experiment to sketch the three ideal types by working out a number of key aspects of their distinctive political features. The political action that characterizes representative assemblies is pre-parliamentary elections, legislative assemblies are judged by their post-parliamentary resu…
Strategic positioning within the normative institutional environment of Westminster
2021
International audience; L’espace du débat parlementaire à la Chambre des Communes Cette communication a pour objectif d’explorer les potentialités du cadre normatif dans l’espace des débats parlementaires à la Chambre des Communes à Westminster.Les débats parlementaires à la Chambre des Communes sont régis par des règles et des protocoles stricts. En effet, les membres de la Chambre doivent observer des règles de bonne conduite afin d’éviter tout débordement. Ce cadre institutionnel (et constitutionnel), à première vue très rigide, concerne à la fois les contraintes physiques au sein de la Chambre mais également les contraintes d’ordre discursif. Sandra Harris, en référence à la Chambre de …
Nieznane dokumenty dotyczące sejmiku województw poznańskiego i kaliskiego z lat 1701 i 1735 w londyńskich zbiorach archiwalnych. Edycja źródłowa
2022
Odnalezione w londyńskich instytucjach naukowych rękopiśmienne dokumenty związane są z niezwykle burzliwymi okresami w dziejach szlacheckiej Rzeczypospolitej. Instrukcja, a w zasadzie punkty z sejmiku województw poznańskiego i kaliskiego z 1701 r. są związane z początkową fazą Wielkiej Wojny Północnej, która zmieniła układ sił w Europie Środkowo-Wschodniej. Analizowany sejmik został zerwany, a mimo to upubliczniono wyniki jego prac właśnie w formie punktów. Znany polskim historykom dokument nieco odbiega od tego, który znajduje się w londyńskich zbiorach, a różnic, na tym etapie badań, nie jesteśmy w stanie wyjaśnić. Drugi dokument dotyczy tego samego sejmiku, ale z 1735 r., okresu równie b…
Politicisation as a Speech Act: A Repertoire for Analysing Politicisation in Parliamentary Plenary Debates
2021
This chapter analyses the actual speech acts of politicisation among parliamentarians, which also makes it possible to set the current debates among European Union (EU) scholars in a wider context. My aim is to sketch a scheme for distinguishing different aspects of politicisation, referring to concepts of politics (sphere or activity and its specific aspects), to the politicisation of topics or persons, to its time dimensions (past, present, and future), to different activities of politicisation (adversaries, unintended changes, the actors themselves), as well as to opposing evaluations of politicisation. The data set consists of the plenary debates of the UK House of Commons, the (West) G…
A Lost Opportunity to Parliamentarize The European Commission : Bagehot, Weber and a Debate in 1960
2022
The article emphasizes the significance of EU studies for political thought and concepts. It deals with the seemingly technical topic of the membership of cabinet ministers in parliament. This practice arose in eighteenth-century Westminster and has been discussed since the mid-nineteenth century, Walter Bagehot's and Max Weber's writings being landmarks. When the European Parliamentary Assembly in 1960 interpreted the Treaty of Rome, it took the view, by a narrow margin, that membership of the Parliament was incompatible with membership of the Commission. The debate on the compatibility of dual membership could have been a way to promote the parliamentarization of the EU. peerReviewed
The use and abuse of parliamentary concepts in Hungarian parliamentary debates, 1920–27
2020
During and after the First World War, discourses calling for constitutional reform pervaded Europe. The break-up of the continental empires, the emergence of the new nation-states, and the western calls for democratization collectively gave rise to transnational debates about parliamentarization and parliamentary government. However, in the diverse and contingent post-war political environment, at the same time these ideals were given profoundly nation-specific meanings. They were implemented in the process of nation-building in equally diverse national contexts. This article analyses the use and abuse of the parliamentary concepts and their vernacular redescriptions in Hungarian parliament…
