Public Law and Democracy in the United Kingdom and the United States of America

This book develops a new and unique theory for the role of law in a democratic society. It links the content, shape, and structure of constitutional and administrative law more directly with the background ideas of political theory. It also shows how constitutional and administrative law are integrally related. The book gives detailed attention to public law in the UK and USA, but the methodology it presents could be applied to the study of law in any other country.
