Journal: Journal of Legislative Studies

The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) is not just the oldest but also the most institutionalised and powerful international parliamentary assembly.

We theorise how geopolitical aggression between member states change the voting pattern in the assembly.
