the relationship between Britain and the European Union between the
ratification of the Maastricht Treaty and the British General

This international comparative study of the Ombudsman institution
began life in March 1994 when Philip Giddings and Roy Gregory
formed the idea of producing a successor to Gerald Caiden's
International Handbook of the Ombudsman [1983]. In the decade and a
half since Caiden's volume was produced, there has been a
considerable expansion of the number and variety of Ombudsman
institutions. With the generous assistance of the International
Institute of Administrative Sciences [IIAS] we were able to
assemble a team of experts, containing academics and practitioners,
public lawyers, political scientists and administrators, drawn from
a wide range of states and reflecting many different systems,
cultures and experiences. Most members of the team were able to
meet at three IIAS-sponsored consultations held in Brussels in
1996, 1997 and 1998 at which we debated and refined our strategy
and methodology and reflected upon our findings. From these
meetings an agreed framework was drawn up for the reports to be
included in this volume and those reports, together with thematic
chapters on issues such as human rights and the new public
management, form the heart of this book.
