Annual conference: Parliaments and Security: Workshop on Parliaments and Security
Description
Workshop on Parliaments and Security
While parliaments’ roles in security have often been neglected in practice and in scholarship, the importance of parliaments in security has received significant attention in recent years. This online workshop will take stock of the current understanding of parliaments and security, showcase cutting-edge work in this area, and set an agenda for future research. The invited papers in the workshop reflect on this broad theme from multiple perspectives and across a diverse range of specific topics.
