Abstract

The chapter deals with the distinct chances to extend parliamentary thinking of politics beyond parliaments in ordinary sense and discuss its limits. The point of comparing the parliamentary paradigm with other types of politics, such as intra-party struggles or multilateral diplomacy, lies in constructing a spectrum from the parliament to other assemblies. To analyse parliamentary degree of politics for example the prefixes as proto-, semi-, quasi- or pseudo-parliamentary assemblies are analysed. A special case lies in the relationships between academic and parliamentary debates based on the recognition of the dissensus, but having for example different relationships to written and oral debates.
