Eoin Carolan

The New Separation of Powers

A Theory for the Modern State

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book offers a radical and provocative revision of the theory of separation of powers. It argues that, although designed to protect democracy, separation of powers is often used today to undermine it by concealing and centralising the exercise of power by public officials. The theory is then reinvented for the modern regulatory state.
