This book addresses the education and training of Members of Parliament (MPs). It examines existing training programs offered in various countries around the world, evaluates their strengths and weaknesses and makes recommendations for a new approach, which aligns the professional development of MPs to 21st century requirements. Contributors address the role of parliamentarians, how to prepare them for their multi-faceted functions, the importance of ethics in any program, the requirement for more sophisticated adult learning approaches, human resource implications and the need to reform existing education and training models. The book will appeal to scholars in the fields of political science, adult education and human resource management, as well as to parliamentarians interested in enhancing their skills so as to perform more efficiently and effectively.

Industry Reviews

"The chapters in this volume clearly establish the need for fuller, more consistent professional development training for legislators, and they will be of interest and practical benefit for parliamentary officials, political party representatives, academics and other third-party groups who may be involved in designing and delivering such programming." (International Journal of Public Administration, February 8, 2021)
