By Susan Rose-Ackerman

‘Professor Rose-Ackerman, a leading American figure in the subject of this collection, and a person well-acquainted with the law and economics of administration abroad as well as in the United States, has assembled much of the canonical literature in this highly useful collection of articles. American law schools are increasingly concluding that consideration of the regulatory and administrative state is at the heart of the foundational curriculum for the twenty-first century, and that the social science issues these articles address are as important to that consideration as any technical legal matters. Reaching across the intersections of law, economics and political science, this collection is an important building block for any library wishing to provide its users with the important resources.’ – Peter L. Strauss, Columbia Law School, US

All representative democracies must balance democratic accountability against the competent implementation of complex statutes. Achieving this balance in administrative law will be aided by drawing on insights from economics and political economy. This important volume collects the best work in this area and is of significance for scholars of public law and economics around the world. The editor’s authoritative selection of papers, anchored in the American system of administrative law, mixes theoretical, legal, and empirical studies by leading interdisciplinary scholars. It thus provides an up-to-date introduction to modern work in the economics of administrative law.
