'In this important new collection, Jackson and Dawood bring together some of the leading contemporary public law thinkers to explore the benefits, as well as dangers, to thinking about notions of effective government in rights-based terms. It is compelling and compulsory reading for all those interested in the future of public law in a time of increasing economic, climate and health challenges.'
