Transparency and Administrative Law: A Critical Evaluation
Speaker: Dr. Liz Fisher, Reader in Environmental Law, Corpus Christi, Oxford
Venue: Oxford Law Faculty Senior Common Room
Transparency is an ‘it’ word of contemporary governance. In this short seminar its interface with administrative law is considered by analysing the range of transparency mechanisms in administrative law; the operational consequences of transparency, and how legal scholars have engaged with it. This analysis highlights that transparency is a far more substantive concept than generally envisaged and that it requires administrative lawyers to reflect on how public administration is conceptualised and evaluated.
