Is this fundamental democratic ideal under siege? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this timely and important book, Raymond Wacks examines the philosophical roots of the rule of law and its modern, often contentious, interpretation. He then investigates 16 potential ideological, economic, legal, and institutional dangers to the rule of law. They range from the exercise of judicial and administrative discretion and parliamentary sovereignty, to the growth of globalisation, the 'war on terror', and the disquieting power of Big Tech. He also considers the enactment and enforcement in several countries of Draconian measures to curtail the spread of COVID-19, which has generated fears that these emergency powers may outlive the pandemic and become a permanent feature of the legal landscape, thereby impairing the rule of law. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWacks identifies which issues among this extensive array pose genuine risks to the rule of law, and suggests how they might be confronted to ensure its defence and preservation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Raymond Wacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509950621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509950621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.38d","brand":"Raymond Wacks","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071567393023,"sku":"9781509950621","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6e677c12-2204-4ea5-a4c1-072a8c097da6.jpg?v=1685436873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rule-of-law-under-raymond-wacks-9781509950621","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
