The Paradox of Parliament is a comprehensive analysis of Parliament that explores the paradoxical expectations placed on the institution. The book argues that Parliament operates under two distinct logics: governance and decision-making and representation and voice. This paradox is particularly evident in Canada and Canadians, who struggle to recognize and reconcile the competing logics. Jonathan Malloy's book focuses on overarching analytical themes rather than exhaustive description, emphasizing the importance of people over procedure and theory, with a strong emphasis on gender, race, and diversity. It proposes a holistic and realistic understanding of Parliament that recognizes its evolution and adaptation. The Paradox of Parliament offers a novel interpretation of Parliament in Canada, shedding light on its many facets.
