Summary

This is a book about the definition of executive power and the ways in which it can be rendered accountable. Such power is especially important in the modern day, as exemplified by the detention of prisoners in Guantanomo Bay. The book explores the nature of executive power in a number of different legal systems, Britain, Scotland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the EU and seeks to draw lessons and insights from the comparative perspective.
