A defense of regulatory agencies' efforts to combine public consultation with bureaucratic expertise to serve the interest of all citizens The statutory delegation of rule-making authority to the executive has recently become a source of controversy. There are guiding models, but none, Susan Rose-Ackerman claims, is a good fit with the needs of regulating in the public interest. Using a cross-national comparison of public policy-making in the United States, France, the UK, and Germany, she argues that public participation inside executive rule-making processes is necessary to preserve the legitimacy of regulatory policy-making.
"Susan Rose-Ackerman has produced a valuable and insightful work that considers endemic issues of policy making accountability by the executive and the role of public participation in executive rule making in four countries. "-Paul Craig, St John' s College, Oxford "Given the precarious state of popular trust in government across the globe, this exceptional exploration of how four advanced democracies pursue legitimacy in the bureaucratic implementation of regulatory law makes an invaluable contribution. "-Peter M. Shane, author of Madison' s Nightmare: How Executive Power Threatens American Democracy "Capstone of Susan Rose-Ackerman' s influential writings about comparative administrative law, her remarkable exploration of the democratic accountability of administrative governance in France, Germany, the UK and the US brings fresh and important understanding to the interactions among forms of government, the rule of law. and the contemporary urgency of maintaining democratic institutions. "-Peter Strauss, author of Administrative Justice in the United States "Democracy and Executive Power reflects decades of Susan Rose-Ackerman' s profound thinking about how the rule of law, accountability, democracy, and participation relate to how most law is made in the world' s four most influential legal systems. Her argument is at once pro-bureaucratic, pro-legal, and pro-democratic. The book is essential reading for those seeking to understand and reform executive rule-making in any democracy.
