Public choice theory sheds light on many aspects of legislation,
regulation, and constitutional law and is critical to a
sophisticated understanding of public policy. The editors of this
landmark addition to the law and economics literature have
organized the Handbook into four main areas of inquiry:
foundations, constitutional law and democracy, administrative
design and action, and specific statutory schemes. The original
contributions, authored by top scholars in the field, provide
helpful introductions to important topics in public choice and
public law while also exploring the institutional complexity of
American democracy. Beginning with a critical introduction to the
core tenets of public choice theory and concluding with
comprehensive analyses of drug safety, energy regulation, and
environmental law, the Handbook provides differing points of view
on the foundations of these and a range of related subjects,
including: direct democracy and its financial implications, the
functioning of electoral processes, judicial behavior, and the
structural differences between presidential and parliamentary
systems. The Handbook's knowledgeable contributors offer a rich,
realistic view of how public policy is made that is accessible to a
broad range of readers. Summarizing much of the key literature in a
range of major topics and framing that literature for open debates
and further research, the Handbook is ideal for students and
scholars of law, political science, and economics. Contributors: D.
