The "representative" parliament: Parliamentary representation in Liechtenstein and the Swiss cantons

Deputy members of parliament are the norm in Liechtenstein, albeit one that sometimes causes debate and raises questions. While there is a constant debate in this country about whether this "old tradition" is still needed, some cantonal and municipal parliaments in Switzerland have recently introduced deputization. The lecture discussed, among other things, what is hoped for elsewhere from a deputization solution, how existing deputization systems differ from one another and how parliamentary deputization can also be rethought/different/new.

The presentation of the lecture "The 'defensible' parliament - parliamentary deputization in Liechtenstein and the Swiss cantons" is now available online.
