This volume analyses the different patterns of legislative influence on foreign policy. For each of the seven parliaments discussed in the book, the main strands of legislative - executive relations are examined in terms of the policy-making framework. This book will appeal to a wide range of students of comparative foreign policy and of parliamentary studies. The essays raise a number of challenging questions which will be of interest to policy-makers in Britain, the EEC, Japan, Israel, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Canada and India.
