’This book is original, useful and timely. It is original by the scope of the comparison it operates: old European rule of law systems, transitional Eastern Europe countries, Greater China. Useful, since it brings forth enlightening reflections on how administrative litigation systems make their way in a confrontation with the rest of constitutional powers. Timely, for it conveys precious information on the processes which should lead China progressively towards the rule of law.’ Jean-Bernard Auby, Professor of Public Law and Director of Governance and Public Law Center at Sciences Po, France ’This book provides a valuable and unique survey of the legal position in nine jurisdictions concerning judicial review, ranging from Macau to the Netherlands, useful to students and researchers alike.’ Susan Finder, Supreme People's Court Monitor
