Recenzje

'This is a work of considerable scholarship. Dr Rock writes very clearly. Despite the significant theoretical component of the book, the information and arguments are easy to read and understand. The output is a book which has significantly advanced the understanding in Australia of the tools needed for measurement of accountability, a foundational objective for testing the suitability and appropriateness of the institutions comprising the Australian legal system. She is to be congratulated for tackling such an ambitious task and doing it so effectively.' Robin Creyke, Australian Journal of Administrative Law
