Opis

This is a book about the definition of executive power and the ways in which it can be rendered accountable. Such power is especially important in the modern day, as exemplified by the detention of prisoners in Guantanomo Bay. The book explores the nature of executive power in a number of different legal systems, Britain, Scotland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the EU and seeks to draw lessons and insights from the comparative perspective.

Recenzje

The Executive and Public Law is a high quality collection that contains a great deal of information about the legal responses to executive power around the world. The volume is particularly strong on executive-judicial relations. The material on the legal structure and accountability of administrative decision making should stimulate further comparative research.
