Constitutional and administrative law: general Books, bestsellers and new releases

Book SynopsisThis book focuses on the essentials that public administration students and public managers should know about administrative lawwhy we have administrative law, the constitutional structure for and constraints on public administration, and administrative law's formats for rulemaking, adjudication, enforcement, transparency, and judicial and legislative review of administrative activity. Author David Rosenbloom views administrative law from the perspectives of administrative practice, rather than lawyering, with an emphasis on how various administrative law provisions promote their underlying goals of improving the fit between public administration and US democratic-constitutionalism. Organized around federal administrative law while including material on state practices where appropriate, the book explains the essentials of administrative law clearly and accurately, in non-technical terms, and in sufficient depth to provide readers with a sophisticated, lasting understanding of the sTrade Review"Experts in public administration and in administrative law study similar things, but often they don’t speak the same language. David Rosenbloom is fluent in both languages, and I heartily recommend this new edition to all in both fields. It is comprehensive, refreshingly accessible, and shows a profound understanding of how government works and needs to work better." - Jeffrey S. Lubbers, Washington College of Law, American University, USA“Rosenbloom gives public managers an essential tool for democratic governance: a concise roadmap to their role in preserving the rule of law. The public has less trust in government. Public managers need this comprehensive introduction to constitutional and administrative law, because law underpins the ethics and values of public administration." - · Lisa Blomgren Amsler, Indiana University, USATable of Contents1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Routledge Handbook of the Study of the Commons

15 in stock

Book SynopsisThis comprehensive Handbook serves as a unique synthesis and resource for understanding how analytical frameworks developed within the literature assist in understanding the nature and management of commons resources. Such frameworks include those related to Institutional Analysis and Development, Social-Ecological Systems, and Polycentricity, among others. The book aggregates and analyses these frameworks to lay a foundation for exploring how they apply according to scholars across a wide range of disciplines. It includes an exploration of the unique problems arising in different disciplines of commons study, including natural resources (forests, oceans, water, energy, ecosystems, etc), economics, law, governance, the humanities, and intellectual property. It shows how the analytical frameworks discussed early in the book facilitate interdisciplinarity within commons scholarship. This interdisciplinary approach within the context of analytical frameworks helps facilitate a more comTrade Review"The Routledge Handbook of the Commons is an extraordinary collection of essays exploring self-governance from many viewpoints. The volume first present alternative frameworks for analyzing commons and then continues with empirical sections that explore traditional natural resource commons as well as governance of resources in the knowledge economy, including genomic and other medical data, urban commons, climate and global commons. The volume is an important contribution to the study of economic systems." - Thráinn Eggertsson, University of Iceland and Hertie School of Governance, GermanyTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisDeveloping democratic criteria for veto points in a democratic system, and comparing them to each other against these criteria, Lemieux and Watkins yield fresh insights into judicial review’s democratic value. Trade Review"A wonderful blend of normative and empirical analysis, which asks important questions about whether the judicial review we experience meets democratic standards, as opposed to the more common concern of whether an idealized form of judicial review might meet democratic standards."—Mark A. Graber, Regents Professor, University of Maryland Carey School of Law "Creatively blending political theory and institutional analysis, Watkins and Lemieux show why tired arguments over the dangers of judicial activism overlook the courts’ crucial function of protecting democracy from political failures. Their repositioning of courts as unique but fundamentally political institutions challenges both conventional legal and political science understandings of judicial behavior. The book reconfigures American politics by bringing the courts into the picture as necessary partners in ensuring democratic legitimacy and preventing domination."—Julie Novkov, Professor of Political Science and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, University at Albany "This pioneering book challenges conventional thinking about judicial review and moves the field in an exciting new direction. It dismantles minimalist and ‘instructions for judges’ approaches rooted in the wrong-headed countermajoritarian paradigm and redirects our attention to how well courts, as compared to other veto points, contribute to the anti-domination aim of democracy. The authors’ approach---simultaneously theoretical, practical, and comparative---yields properly modest conclusions about the virtues and vices of judicial review."—Terri Peretti, Professor of Political Science, Santa Clara University"A wonderful blend of normative and empirical analysis, which asks important questions about whether the judicial review we experience meets democratic standards, as opposed to the more common concern of whether an idealized form of judicial review might meet democratic standards."—Mark A.

Book SynopsisThe War on Terror has been going on for over a decade and it shows no signs of winding down in near future, a war which has directly contributed to growing security regimes in frontline states. This book focuses on the legal dimensions of the War on Terror and security in Pakistan. It highlights the growth of the security state in Pakistan, and questions the growing and by-now entrenched legal security regime in the country. The book traces the roots of the present security laws in colonial and post-colonial times. One broader dimension from which the legal security regime of Pakistan is approached in this book is through highlighting specific issues concerning the legal identity of the subject such as the rights of aliens in the background of state power versus liberal constitutionalism, and the rights of terrorism suspects in the background of deploying death sentence as a tactical, psychological tool versus the absolute right to life (of every individuTable of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgementsIntroductionChapter 1: The Colonial State of SecurityChapter 2: The Post-colonial State of SecurityChapter 3: The Anti-Terrorism Act, ATA (1997)Chapter 4: Expansion and Entrenchment of the Legal Regime of SecurityChapter 5: Security and the Absolute Right to Life: Critical Reflections on the Revival of Capital PunishmentChapter 6: Aliens, Identity, and Legal Regime of Security on the BorderChapter 7: Epilogue: Kharotabad Killings: Security and Political ResponsibilityTable of CasesTable of LawsEnd NotesBibliographyIndex

Taylor & Francis Ltd Constitutional History of the UK

15 in stock

Book SynopsisAn appreciation of the development and evolution of the United Kingdom constitution is vital in order to understand the existing nature of the constitution, proposals for reform and the many complex challenges it faces. Ann Lyon presents a vivid overview of fourteen hundred years of English legal history taking us on a rich journey from a feudal society to the fractured Union of the present day. Drawing on key constitutional themes, Constitutional History of the United Kingdom provides insight and context to modern constitutional problems.This second edition has been revised and updated to bring coverage up to the present day, including parliamentary reform; the Scottish referendum on independence and further drives for enhanced devolution; the effect of EU membership on the UK Constitution; and the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act 1998. Constitutional History of the United Kingdom offers an accessible and Trade Review‘Constitutional History of the United Kingdom tells the story of the evolution of the constitution to the present day. It is a fascinating story, extremely well told by an historian who now teaches law. The book is of relevance to students of law, history and government, a source of reference for undergraduate law students and essential reading for postgraduate study. The author makes the point that students of law often lack a historical perspective, essential to a thorough knowledge of the UK constitution, and this work is to my knowledge, the only recent one to explain the history of the UK with a view to illuminating constitutional changes. Its sheer breadth is impressive. It begins with a description of the development of government pre-1066, followed by a sweep of 14 centuries, culminating in UK membership of the EU and the adoption of European Convention on Human Rights. Themes provide continuity to the sequence of events; so, for instance, coherence is traceable through the events that inexorably led to the balance of power shifting from king to Parliament, and to our modern democracy. It explains well the background to events that were initially often violent and, in more recent history, political, and the conundrum of the UK constitution becomes over clearer as the reader progresses. The Constitutional History of the United Kingdom should be read by all students of constitutional law but is also a work of reference and could be enjoyed by anyone seeking to further their knowledge of UK History’. Times Higher Educational Supplement, 28 May 2004.'Students of British constitutional history will appreciate this well-written survey by Ann Lyons, a lecturer in law at the University of Wales, Swansea. The author, like her famous predecessor, F. W. Maitland, possesses expertise in both legal and general history, and she is able to interweave constitutional developments with important historical events as well as Maitland did in his classis 1908 work. Lyon's purpose is not to offer research but to compose a readable, up-to-date account for university students. The author has done an outstanding job of compressing so much information into a very readable volume, which takes into account the newest literature and most recent events in this area. A Constitutional History of the United Kingdom is recommended for students and interested general public.' History, Vol 32 No 3, Spring 2004 'This is a thorough, respectful history of constitutional developments in the United Kingdom from ancient times through to the recent changes under the European Union and the New Labour Government. This book is an excellent overview, but with much detail, of the functioning of the Ombudsman office in Great Britain. It is the starting point for understanding that institution and for teaching about future investigation of it. British Politics Group Newsletter, Autumn 2003'This is a thorough and very readable book, especially useful for references as well as a textbook...Law students should read Lyon' Representation, Michael Rush, University of Exeter.
