Opis

This book analyzes the increasing use made by contemporary British governments of "contracts" to regulate a wide range of economic and social relationships. It provides a critical analysis of such contractual arrangements and evaluates their potential both to benefit the parties and to achieve the Government's regulatory objectives.
