Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Unity of Public Law?: Doctrinal Theoretical and Comparative Perspectives by Edited by Mark Elliott Edited by Professor Jason NE Varuhas Edited by Shona Wilson Stark
This major collection contains papers from the second Public Law Conference that was hosted by the University of Cambridge in September 2016. Part 1 offers doctrinal and theoretical perspectives. Some chapters seek to articulate a unifying framework for understanding public law while others seek to demonstrate the plurality of public law through the method of legal taxonomy. A number of chapters analyse whether different fields such as human rights and administrative law are merging. Part 2 offers comparative perspectives charting and analysing convergence and divergence across common law systems. Specific topics include standing proportionality human rights remedies use of foreign precedents legal transplants and disunity and unity among subnational jurisdictions.
