Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Diana Woodhouse's comprehensive new book examines the concept of good administration against the background of civil service reform, judicial intervention and executive/judicial tension. The author presents the persuasive argument that the principles which support the concept are being undermined and that conflict between executive and judicial branches of government seems likely to increase. She concludes that now, more than ever, a Code of Good Administration is required. In Pursuit of Good Administration will be a useful addition to the libraries of all public law lawyers, and those engaged in public administration and reform of the public service.
MoreLong description:
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 at administrative and judicial perspectives, arguing that a public service model of good administration is giving way to a new public management model which supports different principles.It suggests that in many respects these principles, based on value for money and competition, sit uncomfortably with in the public sector and at times conflict with the principles upheld by the courts which have more in common woth a public service model. It concludes that now, more than ever, a Code of Good Administration is required. Such a Code would protect essential principles, enhance the constitutional authority of the courts with regard to judicial review, and, working alongside the Citizen's Charter, provide a blueprint for expected administrative standards within the civil service and beyond.
