Democracy in Decline charts how democracy is being diluted and - TopicsExpress



          

Democracy in Decline charts how democracy is being diluted and restricted in five of the world’s oldest democracies – the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Professor Allan targets four main, interconnected causes of decline - judicial activism, the transformation and growth of international law, the development of supranational organisations, and the presence of undemocratic elites. He presents a convincing argument that the same trends are occurring whether the country has a constitutional bill of rights (United States and Canada), a statutory bill of rights (the United Kingdom and New Zealand), or no bill of rights at all (Australia). Professor Allan worked in the Faculty of Law at the University of Otago for 11 years from 1993 to 2004. During that time he was a regular contributor to the National Business Review.
