Peer Review of Agency Decision- Making

Peer Review of Agency Decision- Making
This work focuses on an increasingly common phenomenon in transnational governance, whereby the decisions of a national regulatory agency are subject to review by committees of international peers. In the EU, such peer review has become a formal requirement of decision-making by regulatory
agencies, while it also occurs within international organisations and transnational regulatory networks. I propose a framework for understanding the possible functions played by transnational peer review, as well as how it could be related to political decision-making and judicial review (national and supranational).
 
This talk will be of interest to an Australian audience for two reasons: Australia participates in a number of transnational cooperation agreements and regulatory networks in which peer review takes place; and more broadly, similar mechanisms might be already observable or normatively desirable in the constitutional and public law evolution of Australian federalism.
