'At what point does a legislature's delegation of 'experimental' regulatory power to the executive constitute an abdication of the legislature's essential role in a representative democracy? At what point does it violate such crucial principles as legal certainty, equal treatment, or proportionality? What are the implications for this kind of experimentalist governance beyond law ? These are just some of the questions that this important book seeks to answer. Using the German, Dutch and US experiences as her point of entry, Sofia Ranchordas has produced a deeply researched comparative study full of illuminating examples and rich insights into the phenomenon of sunset clauses and experimental legislation and regulation. Ranchordas's book will be a great resource to legal scholars, social scientists, and historians who seek to understand the changing nature of the legislative function as well as the crucial normative issues it raises.' - Peter L. Lindseth, University of Connecticut School of Law, US 'This rigorous and comprehensive study sheds light on an underappreciated tool of legal regulation. Using a comparative perspective that seamlessly integrates jurisprudential and policy analysis, Ranchordas has made a major contribution to our understanding of the interaction of law and time.' - Tom Ginsburg, University of Chicago Law School, US 'This book provides a comprehensive look at sunset clauses and experimental legislation. Thorough and well-researched, the book makes a valuable contribution to the study of these important and controversial, yet understudied, legislative instruments. The book should be of great interest to scholars, students and practitioners in the fields of legislation, regulation, public law and public policy.' - Ittai Bar-Siman-Tov, Bar-Ilan University Faculty of Law, Israel

As a valid, effortful and carefully researched contribution to the study of jurisprudence, this book merits a place in the professional library of many a practitioner, especially those specializing in international law.' -- The Barrister Magazine

'This is a superb publication and a wonderful contribution to the literature. The book is thought-provoking and makes the reader reconsider the traditional perception of permanent legislation compared to a more dynamic, flexible, and evidence-based lawmaking. The book is a must-have for anyone interested in legislation, and would be of great interest to those interested in regulation, constitutional law, comparative law, and legal theory. It will be useful not only for academics, but also for legislators and regulators.' -- American Journal of Comparative Law 'This rigorous and comprehensive study sheds light on an underappreciated tool of legal regulation.
