Chapters describe each parliament or legislature in terms of key characteristics including historical background, elections, relations with the executive branch and judiciary, budgetary control, lawmaking, parliamentary procedures, and member's rights and immunities. Organized alphabetically by country, the work covers all democracies regardless of size.
