Additional text

'From its first edition in 1984, this book has deliberately provoked lawyers to venture beyond their doctrinal bubbles: it truly is the leading work on law and administration. Its coverage of legal doctrine is vast, its sense of where the law has come from and where it is heading has always been unerring, and above all, its research into the effects of administration upon law (and vice versa) is dazzling. This new edition has been radically rewritten, including (for example) new material on the UK post-Brexit, governing in a pandemic, and computerised decision-making and rule-making in the era of artificial intelligence.' Mark Aronson, Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Law and Justice, University of New South Wales
