Books by Stephen Breyer

In this original, far-reaching, and timely book, Justice Stephen Breyer examines the work of the Supreme Court of the United States in an increasingly interconnected world, a world in which all sorts of activity, both public and private—from the conduct of national security policy to the conduct of international trade—obliges the Court to understand and consider circumstances beyond America’s borders.  Written with unique authority and perspective, The Court and the World reveals an emergent reality few Americans observe directly but one that affects the life of every one of us. Here is an invaluable understanding for lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer explores three generic difficulties plaguing efforts to reduce health risks and sets out a proposal for a new administrative entity to develop a coherent regulatory system adaptable for use in different risk-related programs-a mission-oriented, independent agency commanding significant prestige and authority.

Stephen Breyer's book is not merely a utilitarian analysis or a legal discussion of procedures; it employs the widest possible perspective to survey the full implications of government regulation-economic, legal, administrative, political-while addressing the complex problems of administering regulatory agencies.
