摘要

虽然非洲立法机构近年来受到越来越多的学术关注，但由于缺乏关于其活动和产出的可靠数量数据，扩大我们对这些机构机构的了解的努力受到阻碍。为了纠正这一问题，我们收集了13个非洲国家的立法议程数据并进行了分类。我们利用这个新的数据集来探索民主发展如何影响立法议程。我们表明，更民主的国家的立法机构有一个更大、更广泛、更有活力的议程，我们提出了非洲立法政治的一个广泛的未来研究议程。

The Legislative Agenda in 13 African Countries: A Comprehensive Database

While African legislatures have been receiving increasing academic attention in recent years, efforts to expand our understanding of these institutional bodies have been hampered by a dearth of reliable quantitative data regarding their activity and output. To rectify this issue, we have collected and issue-classified data on the legislative agenda in 13 African countries. We leverage this new dataset to explore how democratic development affects the legislative agenda. We show that legislatures in more democratic countries have a larger, broader, and more dynamic agenda, and we propose an extensive future research agenda for legislative politics in Africa.

期刊介绍： The Legislative Studies Quarterly is an international journal devoted to the publication of research on representative assemblies. Its purpose is to disseminate scholarly work on parliaments and legislatures, their relations to other political institutions, their functions in the political system, and the activities of their members both within the institution and outside. Contributions are invited from scholars in all countries. The pages of the Quarterly are open to all research approaches consistent with the normal canons of scholarship, and to work on representative assemblies in all settings and all time periods. The aim of the journal is to contribute to the formulation and verification of general theories about legislative systems, processes, and behavior.
