‘Covering a broad and diverse set of administrative law issues, A Research Agenda for Administrative Law prompts comparisons to a scholar’s own research even when it is in a different area of administrative law or a different administrative law system. Readers will find much to appreciate in chapters that reveal the challenging nature of our subject and the satisfaction of understanding it better. I am unaware of another book that offers scholars the same opportunity to contemplate how we understand the institutional, doctrinal, and political dimensions of this difficult but fascinating subject.’
