Recenzje

The concept of executive power, the structures through which it is exercised, and the framework of law and practice by which it is constrained are among the most complex topics in comparative constitutional law. This important book by Margit Cohn offers a framework for understanding and analysis, drawing on a challenging comparison between the United Kingdom and the United States. Cohn brings her argument down to earth through two highly topical case studies, on emergency powers and air pollution. This is a valuable addition to the literature, which will attract close attention from others venturing into the field of executive power.
