Outsourcing Rulemaking Powers
Constitutional limits and national safeguards
«Outsourcing rulemaking power is common in many polities. It raises complex issues of constitutional principle and legal doctrine. Cedric Jenart's book is a valuable addition to the literature in this area. It examines in depth and from a comparative perspective the twin features that shape this area: the constitutional limits to outsourcing by the legislature and/or the executive; and the standards that must be complied with by actors outside the traditional governmental structure if outsourcing is allowed.»

Within democratic states, parliaments have always been regarded as playing a pivotal role in the creation of rules. Through its composition, parliament represents the opinions and interests of society, which it serves through the legislative process. But in an increasingly globalized world, nation-states are confronted with issues that require international cooperation, expert knowledge and flexibility to resolve. Rather than taking the lead, parliaments are
increasingly settling for a managerial position and have begun to outsource their rulemaking powers (and other constitutional responsibilities) rather than exercising them themselves.
Outsourcing Rulemaking Powers identifies the shared constitutional principles that determine the limits to the outsourcing of rulemaking powers. It asks fundamental questions of its readers, such as: which powers should be outsourced? And to whom? What mechanisms are in place to guarantee the quality of the rules they make? Through the examination of multiple countries, this book argues that there should be minimal legal safeguards to which all rules must heed, in particular those made
by autonomous public or private actors. Offering a bridge between traditional constitutional law and transnational private law, this book will be of interest to both practitioners and scholars within the global communities of comparative constitutionalism, global administrative law and transnational private
law.

«Complex and fragmented societies are faced with an overwhelming demand for the regulation of economic, social, environmental, and other problems. Rules, however, are set not only by parliament(s), but by a wide range of public and private standard setters. In his excellent piece of scholarship, Cedric Jenart covers the constitutional ground for this decentralised system of rulemaking across a number of jurisdictions. The book is a most welcome in-depth contribution to a Pan-European discussion about the function and the responsibilities of Parliaments in relation to other governance-capacities within modern societies.»

«Building on the rulemaking practices of the executive, Cedric Jenart argues for incorporating the regulatory activities of independent public agencies and private or semi-private institutions into modern public law. With a wealth of legal material and case studies, plus a fascinating look at the World Anti-Doping Agency, Jenart argues that such delegation can be justified in a democracy but should take different forms depending on their expected value: insulation from politics, the need for expertise, or stakeholder involvement.»
Susan Rose-Ackerman, Henry R. Luce Professor Emeritus of Law and Political Science and Professorial
«Governments around the world increasingly delegate or “outsource” the power to make rules imposing obligations upon citizens, to public-private partnerships, purely private organizations, and NGOs, or absorb those organization's rules into public law. In this valuable contribution to comparative constitutional and comparative administrative law, Cedric Jenart gives us a comprehensive study of the limits principles of democracy and legality - as embodied in international and domestic law - place on outsourcing, delegation, and absorption reveals a surprisingly wide range of legal limits on an equally surprisingly range of practices. The concluding study of anti-doping regulations in sport provides an illuminating concrete example of why the question is important.»
