2020br. Il volume traccia, in una prospettiva storica, un quadro della disciplina che regola nel Regno Unito il ruolo degli apparati di supporto all'attività del Parlamento di Westminster e delle Assemblee della devolution di Scozia, Galles e Irlanda del Nord. L'analisi si svolge nel contesto di trasformazione dello Stato contemporaneo e di evoluzione del ruolo dei Parlamenti, investiti da delicati problemi di adeguamento rispetto ai nuovi e maggiori compiti derivanti sul piano interno dai processi di disarticolazione territoriale e su quello sovranazionale dal processo di integrazione europea, interrottosi per il Regno Unito a seguito della Brexit. Attraverso l'analisi delle esperienze degli apparati burocratici del Congresso statunitense, del Parlamento canadese e del Parlamento australiano il volume si propone di offrire un contributo integrativo allo studio della burocrazia parlamentare nella prospettiva comparata, svolgendo dei rilievi e traendo alcune conclusioni preliminari circa lo stato dell'istituzionalizzazione della burocrazia parlamentare britannica rispetto a quella di altri ordinamenti appartenenti alla famiglia giuridica di common law. Lo studio dell'apparato tecnico-burocratico dei Parlamenti consente di evidenziare come lo status, le funzioni e le dimensioni degli apparati parlamentari contribuiscano a fornire elementi essenziali alla valutazione del ruolo assunto dalle istituzioni rappresentative e dell'espansione del loro ruolo nelle democrazie contemporanee quale frutto di una serie di elementi convergenti.
