Law And The State A Political Economy Approach

Law and the State illustrates how democratic states build on informational and legal constraints. It explains how competitive information enhances democracy while strategic information endangers it, and discusses how legal constraint stresses the dilemma of independence versus discretion for judges as well as the elusive role of administrations and experts. Throughout the book, empirical evidence and comparative studies illuminate sometimes provocative theoretical views on issues such as: the place of the rule of law in constitutional and banking systems; regulation of copyright, art and heritage; innovations and technologies of communication and information; terrorism and media manipulation.Marciano is the author of 'Law And The State A Political Economy Approach', published 2005 under ISBN 9781843768005 and ISBN 1843768003.
