This book offers reflections and applications of politics as an activity. It focuses on a selection of Kari Palonen's work over the last 15 years. It is linked to the complex world of parliaments from rhetorical and procedural perspectives, originally inspired by Max Weber and Quentin Skinner as well as by older books on British parliamentary rhetoric and procedural commentaries. The volume illustrates the methodology and the practices of both textual analysis and of using political imagination - also in contexts, which do not immediately appear as political. It's divided into three sections, the first dealing with typical conceptualisations, the second analysing debates and texts in parliament and beyond, the third looking at politicisation in different levels and contexts, especially around the European Union.
