The normative appraisal of public policy both the process of policy-making and the substance of the policies themselves is becoming ever more salient for politicians, public officials, citizens and the academics who study them. On the one hand, the wider population is better informed than ever before about the activities of those that govern them and the consequences of their decisions. As societies have become more wealthy, so the expectations of citizens have grown and with it their tendency to criticise those who work on their behalf. On the other hand, though committed to the ideal of democracy, these same citizens have become ever more disillusioned with its actual working as a means for holding politicians and bureaucrats to account. In part, that disillusionment reflects the shift from government to governance both within and beyond the state, which has weakened or dispersed in complex ways the responsibility of politicians for many key areas of public policy. In part, it also reflects the desire for citizens for more individually tailored and particularistic forms of accountability that address their specific concerns rather than those of the collective welfare. As a result, a whole new machinery for standard setting and monitoring political behaviour has developed. The purpose of this series is to explore and assess the normative implications of this development, appraising the efficacy and legitimacy of the procedures and mechanisms used, and the outcomes they aim to achieve.

These issues lie at the heart of many of the most exciting new areas of research and teaching in moral and political philosophy, politics, international relations and public administration, and law and jurisprudence. The essays chosen reflect this disciplinary mix and the interdisciplinary work that has arisen in this area as a result. The volumes will be suitable for Masters and Professional courses in public policy, political theory and international relations; jurisprudence, international and public law; and applied ethics and political philosophy; as well as a useful resource for scholars doing research or those teaching in these areas.
