Administrative Law in the Political System

This comprehensive book uniquely places administrative law within the context of the political system. It offers a descriptive, analytical approach making the subject easier for social science readers; provides in-depth, comprehensive coverage of administrative law, its principles, doctrines, and current case law in non-technical language; employs systems theory to stress that regulators must respond not only to the demands of administraive law, but also to socio-economic and political pressures; addresses the most recent court decisions, scholarly articles, and related items to present as current as possible a picture of administrative law today; and examines the impact the era of “re-inventing government” and neo- conservatism has had on the development of administrative law.
