State Liability and the Law 2023
State Liability and the Law: A Historical and Comparative Analysis is a 2023 publication by Polish legal scholar, constitutionalist, and politician Bartłomiej Wróblewski. It was issued by Routledge as the second volume in the Routledge Studies in Comparative Legal History series. Gwidon Naskrent provided the English translation from Wróblewski's original 2011 Polish work. The book explores German, French, and English legal traditions from the medieval period through the mid-1900s, alongside Greek and Roman influences on European legal thought including ius commune and natural law concepts. It investigates whether and how state responsibility for actions of public officials developed across these periods, particularly focusing on legislative acts. Contrary to current belief that state liability only emerged in the late 19th century, Wróblewski identifies early instances throughout history, challenging earlier assumptions about lack of accountability for legislative behavior.
