Comparative Administrative Law

Description

About the book

An overview of comparative administrative law, which is based on the first edition, with numerous new and updated chapters, extra subjects and expanded geographical coverage. The wide, multi-method approach of this study manual blends history and sociology with more rigorous legal studies. This new edition shows the development and vitality of recent attempts to promote comparative study in administrative law and public policy more broadly across nations and disciplines, led by the first edition. The emphasis is on administrative independence, which has a diverse impact on the division of powers, democratic self-government and the frontier between law, politics and politics. Several chapters emphasise the conflicts between impartial expertise and public responsibility; others examine administrative disputes and the role of tribunals in examining judgments and secondary standards. This book ends with the question of how administrative legislation shapes and is influenced by changing limits of the state, in particular shifts between public and private borders, and national and supranational spheres.
