In Pursuit of Good Administration
The importance of good administration is frequetly stressed by politicians, civil servants and judges. This book examines the concept against a background of extensive civil service reform, an increasingly interventionist judiciary, and exceptional executive/judicial tension.

It looks to changes in values both in society and inside government, and to the relationships between politicians and civil servants at the top and between civil servants and citizens at the bottom. Donald J. Savoie argues that both Canada and the UK now operate under court government rather than cabinet government. By court government, he means that effective power now rests with their respective prime ministers and a small group of carefully selected courtiers. For things that ...

Suing Foreign Governments and Their Corporations, 2nd Edition
When Suing Foreign Governments and Their Corporations was first published in 1988, one reviewer predicted that it would become the bible for all attorneys litigating such cases.
