In the United States, group litigation has been recognized by
political scientists as a means of gaining ground and attracting
publicity for pressure groups since the turn of the century. In
Britain, campaigning through litigation is a relatively new
phenomenon.
"Pressure Through Law" examines the extent to which groups in
Britain are using the law to achieve their ends. The authors
analyze the significance of the political environment in Britain in
test-case strategy. In contrast with the United States, Britain has
no written constitution and no Bill of Rights, and its lack of
Freedom of Information legislation makes both litigation and the
monitoring of its effects very difficult. The centralized character
of the British government causes the effects of lobbying to be more
highly visible in the corridors of power.
Carol Harlow and Richard Rawlings present an extremely thorough
study of the use of litigation by pressure groups, citing a large
number of relevant cases in Britain. They also look at
transnational law and at the global dimension, discussing the
campaign tactics of organizations such as Amnesty International and
Greenpeace. The authors, both experienced in public law, link legal
systems to the political process in a book which will be important
and accessible reading for lawyers, political scientists, and lobby
group activists.
