Focusing on the relationship between prosecutors and democracy,
this volume throws light on key questions about prosecutors and the
role they should play in liberal self-government. Internationally
distinguished scholars discuss how prosecutors can strengthen
democracy, how they sometimes undermine it, and why it has proven
so challenging to hold prosecutors accountable while insulating
them from politics. The contributors explore the different ways
legal systems have addressed that challenge in the United States,
the United Kingdom, and continental Europe. Contrasting those
strategies allows an assessment of their relative strengths - and a
richer understanding of the contested connections between law and
democratic politics. Chapters are in explicit conversation with
each other, facilitating comparison and deepening the analysis.
This is an important new resource for legal scholars and reformers,
political philosophers, and social scientists.
