COMPARATIVE-LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF PARLIAMENTARY RESEARCH SERVICES

Abstract

This article analyzes the activities of parliamentary research services on the example of foreign experience. It highlights the need and sources of objective and reliable information for the legislature. The structure and functions of parliamentary research services of developed countries such as the United States, Canada, and France have been studied to provide scientific and information-analytical support to their parliamentary activities.  Deep analysis of the activities of scientific services of parliaments (USA, Great Britain, South Korea, The Republic of Turkey), which have the most advanced experience in this field, is of particular importance in understanding the essence and content of providing scientific and information-analytical activities of the parliament. The analysis of the practice of scientific services of foreign parliaments shows that their status, content, object and subject of study and research methods are somewhat different. An important role in their activities is played by the scientific examination of decisions adopted by the Parliament and draft laws prepared, as well as the scientific justification for conducting parliamentary control. The method of comparative analysis given in this article will cover the history of the existence of Parliamentary Research Services and will serve to improve the provision of scientific and information-analytical activities of the chambers of the Oliy Majlis.
