The new separation of powers [electronic resource] : a theory for the modern state / Eoin Carolan. Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2009. 1 online resource (xxvii, 286 p.) This book offers a radical & provocative revision of the theory of separation of powers. It argues that, although designed to protect democracy, separation of powers is often used today to undermine it by concealing & centralising the exercise of power by public officials. The theory is then reinvented for the modern regulatory state. Description based on print version record. Includes bibliographical references and index. Separation of powers. Judicial independence.
