Two into One provides the first systematic and comparative study of the politics and processes involved in the change from a bicameral to a unicameral national legislature.

Recent scholarship points to a "new institutionalism" just as recent political developments point to a trend toward democratization. If institutions matter, and if legislatures are the democratic institutions in which the voice of the people speaks, then the organization of legislatures—bi- or unicameral—has important consequences for democracy.
