Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Key Ideas in Law: The Rule of Law and the Separation of Powers by Jack Beatson
Prompted by the events following the 2016 referendum on EU membership and written by one of the leading public lawyers of our day this book considers the rule of law and separation of powers by examining the relations between the different branches and the mechanisms of accountability within our democracy. The book asks: How accessible is the law and how does it avoid arbitrariness? How is access to justice protected? How does our constitution reflect the separation of powers and the balance of responsibilities between law and politics? How does our democracy enable majorities and protect minorities?
