State Liability

This chapter discusses the liability of the state. Despite the great differences in constitutional context, administrative law, and procedure, all legal systems have had to address the issue of when compensation should be provided to citizens who have been negatively affected by the activities of the administration. The chapter thus provides an overview of the historical and modern approaches of state liability from a comparative perspective, in a variety of jurisdictions. It then gives consideration to some of the salient issues arising out of this complex area of the law. An addendum is then provided examining the issue of the criminal liability of the state. Particular focus is given to the current state of the existing scholarship on this topic, as well as identifying fruitful themes for future research.

Comparative Public Administration

A small but growing area of public administration scholarship appreciates the influence of religious values on various aspects of government. This appreciation parallels a growing interest in comparative public administration and indigenized forms of government which recognizes the role of culture in different approaches to government. This article is at the crossroads of these two trends while also considering a very salient region, the Islamic world. The Islamic world is uniquely religious, which makes this discussion even more relevant, as the nations that represent them strive towards legitimacy and stability. The history and core values of Islam need to be considered as they pertain to systems of government that are widely accepted by the people. In essence, this is being done in many countries across the Islamic world, providing fertile grounds for public administration research from a comparative perspective. This paper explores these possibilities for future research on this topic.
