W. G. Hart Legal Workshop: 2017
Law, Society and Administration in a Changing World
The 2017 Workshop was held at the Institute from Monday 10 July 2017 to Tuesday 11 July 2017.
The 2017 W G Hart Legal Workshop on Law, Society and Administration in a Changing World explored political, institutional, economic and cultural factors that influence (or have in the past influenced) the emergence and development of legal regimes for controlling administrative power. For the purposes of the Workshop, a regime for controlling administrative power encompasses legal rules and principles (‘administrative law’), and also institutions and practices relating to control of administrative power. Administrative power is understood broadly in terms of any and all of the multifarious functions and activities associated with modern ‘governance’.
