The study of parliaments using the same methods employed by Sovietologists during [the Cold War]—analyzing institutional rituals, power hierarchies, unwritten rules, factional dynamics, and the gap between official procedure and actual practice. Where Sovietology decoded the Kremlin’s opaque politics, parliamentology decodes legislative bodies: reading committee assignments as signals, tracking patronage networks, [interpreting] procedural maneuvers as power plays. It treats parliaments not as [transparent] arenas of debate but as closed systems where formal rules mask informal control. Parliamentology reveals that even “democratic” legislatures operate with their own internal Kremlin-like logics of deference, discipline, and hidden influence.
