'Dam is among the rising stars in the jurisprudential study of Indian law. The analysis in this important book demonstrates how India's executive has repeatedly enacted economic and social policies by bypassing parliament, and the institutional perils of doing this. Relevant to understanding the current economic situation brought about by executive action, the book must be read by all policymakers and scholars interested in India.' Jagdish Bhagwati, University Professor of Economics, Law and International Affairs, Columbia University 'This book is essential reading for anyone interested in constitutionalism, the rule of law and Indian democracy. It lays out a detailed analysis of the ordinance-making power of the Indian President and a vigorous argument for a reappraisal of its interpretation and use. Challenging the apparent clarity of the constitutional text, and invoking deeper arguments of constitutional principle, it bravely rejects the widespread assumption that legislation and ordinances are equivalent and highlights the exceptional and deeply problematic nature of the President's power to enact legislation.'
