Reconstructing Parliamentary Oppposition

该项目重建了民主制度下的议会反对派理论，将概念分析与澳大利亚议会反对派模式的实证研究相结合。关于“负责任的反对派”的传统模式的辩论揭示了澳大利亚作为反对派可能性的一个有价值的测试案例的国际重要性。因此，除了概念和比较分析之外，该项目还借鉴议会历史和采访，以启发性的方式利用澳大利亚的经验来重新制定和加强议会反对派理论。

This project reconstructs theories of parliamentary opposition in democratic regimes, blending conceptual analysis with empirical investigation of predominately Australian patterns of parliamentary opposition. Debates over conventional models of 'responsible opposition' reveal the international importance of Australia as a valuable test-case of opposition possibilities. Accordingly, this project uses the Australian experience for heuristic purposes to reformulate and strengthen theories of parliamentary opposition, drawing on parliamentary history and interviews, in addition to conceptual and comparative analysis.
