This book examines the principles and practice of automation in public governance.

Automation is changing the face of government and public law. The collection examines key challenges posed by automation, focusing on theoretical issues, case studies, as well as practices and proposals for reform.

It brings together scholars, public officials and judges from a range of jurisdictions, including the UK, the USA, Canada, Austria, France and the Netherlands to examine principles that should guide automation in government and what can be learned from the growing policy failures involving automation.
