Beskrivning
Public Finance and Parliamentary Constitutionalism analyses constitutionalism and public finance (tax, expenditure, audit, sovereign borrowing and monetary finance) in Anglophone parliamentary systems of government. The book surveys the history of public finance law in the UK, its export throughout the British Empire, and its entrenchment in Commonwealth constitutions. It explains how modern constitutionalism was shaped by the financial impact of warfare, welfare-state programs and the growth of central banking. It then provides a case study analysis of the impact of economic conditions on governments' financial behaviour, focusing on the UK's and Australia's responses to the financial crisis, and the judiciary's position vis-...-vis the state's financial powers. Throughout, it questions orthodox accounts of financial constitutionalism (particularly the views of A. V. Dicey) and the democratic legitimacy of public finance. Currently ignored aspects of government behaviour are analysed in-depth, particularly the constitutional role of central banks and sovereign debt markets.

Recensioner i media

'Concisely and elegantly, Will Bateman does us three great services. First, he lucidly outlines the economic and legal fundamentals of public finance in modern mixed economies. Secondly, focussing on two paradigmatic parliamentary systems of government (the UK and Australia), he carefully analyses: the distribution between the executive and Parliament of powers to raise and spend public revenue; and the respective roles of Parliament and the courts in controlling the management of public finances. Thirdly, he underscores the significance of public finance for developing sound understandings of constitutional law and constitutional theory. Bateman frequently startles the reader by his ability to see clearly aspects of the world hidden, from most of us, in plain sight. This is a very important book.' Peter Cane, Professor of Law, Christ's College, University of Cambridge
