The Executive and Public Law
Power and Accountability in Comparative Perspective

Talks about the definition of executive power and the ways in which it can be rendered accountable. This book explores the nature of executive power in different legal systems such as Britain, Scotland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the EU, and seeks to draw lessons and insights from the comparative perspective.

The book examines executive power in the United Kingdom from a British and from a distinctively Scottish perspective. There are chapters on the four common law jurisdictions of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States; on the four civil law jurisdictions of France, Germany, Italy, and Spain; and on the European Union. This insightful comparative perspective allows themes to be drawn together, and lessons extracted on the nature of executive power and its accountability.
