    About this ebook

    This book outlines the procedures used in many Commonwealth countries in key areas of the legislative process, especially on the executive side of government. It also covers the procedures in the legislature and the entry into force of different types of legislation. The jurisdictions discussed include the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, as well as others in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean. The intention is to assist legislative counsel, politicians and students gain a wider perspective of processes in which drafters, civil servants and politicians participate. In this process, the book also lays bare certain procedures that should now be considered international best practice in the Commonwealth. The book is a follow-up to the authors well-received earlier publication The Legislative Process: A Handbook for Public Officials (2009). However, this book considerably expands on the earlier one in terms of the countries and areas covered, as well as the whole approach to the subject.
