Whistleblowing Law (Elgar Mini Series) - Hardcover

`How should the law handle ostensible whistleblowers? And how, if at all, should the answer differ in the national security context versus other contexts, in private versus public realms, or for government employees versus government contractors? These questions are as timely as they are difficult and important. In Whistleblowing Law, Professor Robert G. Vaughn, himself a leader in the field, assembles a formidable group of experts to address them.' -- Heidi Kitrosser, University of Minnesota, US

This collection, edited by a leading authority, presents key literature published in the last 30 years discussing the topic of whistleblowing law. The papers analyze the contours of the field, including perspectives from which to examine whistleblower laws, the issues arising in the implementation of these laws and the character of global whistleblower laws. These seminal works also provide an introduction to a number of disputed issues and an examination of two areas of recent interest, including national security whistleblowers and financial incentives. Along with an original introduction by the editor, this two-volume set will be an invaluable source of reference for students, academics and practitioners interested in this area.
