Abstract

This is a book about the definition of executive power and the ways in which it can be rendered accountable.

The book explores the nature of executive power in a number of different legal systems including England, Scotland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the EU, and draws insights from the comparative perspective.
