The extensive records of parliamentary speaking and decision-making, especially in the British Parliament, constitute an extensive source, the potential of which has not yet been fully exploited. 2012-06-08T07:33:00+00:00 http://euparl.net/9353000/1/j9vvhskmycle0vf/viuvn6u8a6rn?ctx=vierdif8vjzg&s0e=vhdubxdwqrzw The parliamentary politics is a labyrinth. Skilled parliamentarians are seldom able to explicate their own politics. Outsiders do not understand that the parliamentary game is different from partisan and electoral politics, and scholars tend to see merely the government vs. opposition divide. The singularity of the parliament is easily lost. To enter to the parliamentary labyrinth, Quentin Skinner's rhetorical studies as well as on Max Weber's political theory and methodology have served as main inspiration. 2011-11-30T15:27:00+00:00 http://euparl.net/9353000/1/j9vvhskmycle0vf/violjhkfkewp?ctx=vierdif8vjzg&s0e=vhdubxdwqrzw On 13th and 14th of June 2011, the Academy of Finland Centre of Excellence in Political Thought and Conceptual Change presents a research training course with the theme 'Rethinking Parliaments'.

Relatively little historical research on parliamentary speaking and decision-making exists. Historians have mainly focused on the history of the institution as a whole or on an individual politician's participation in decision-making, and political scientists have likewise mainly studied other aspects of parliamentarism. 2010-12-12T13:11:00+00:00 http://euparl.net/9353000/1/j9vvhskmycle0vf/vigce6nkagwy?ctx=vierdif8vjzg&s0e=vhdubxdwqrzw University of Jyväskylä and Centre of Excellence in Political Thought and Conceptual Change presents a conference for historical research on 21-23 October 2010. 2010-06-25T09:27:00+00:00 http://euparl.net/9353000/1/j9vvhskmycle0vf/vigcdg79o6wx?ctx=vierdif8vjzg&s0e=vhdubxdwqrzw Euparl.net is pleased to announce a new member to the network: The Academy of Finland Centre of Excellence in Political Thought and Conceptual Change, Finland.
