"The New Despotism" is a seminal critique of the expanding power of the executive branch and the civil service at the expense of the judiciary and Parliament. Authored by Lord Hewart while serving as the Lord Chief Justice of England, this influential work examines the rise of administrative law and the delegation of legislative powers to government departments. Hewart argues that the increasing reliance on departmental regulations and administrative tribunals threatens the fundamental principles of the rule of law and individual liberty.
By bypassing traditional legal safeguards, this 'new despotism' is presented as a challenge to the constitutional balance of power, where bureaucracy risks evolving into a form of unaccountable governance. The book provides a rigorous legal and political analysis of how the encroaching authority of the state can erode the supremacy of the courts. Essential for students of constitutional history and political science, "The New Despotism" remains a landmark text in the study of administrative overreach. It serves as a powerful reminder of the delicate relationship between efficient governance and the preservation of democratic institutions and civil rights.
