Title Delegation to Independent Regulatory Agencies in Georgia ? How much independence becomes too much?
Summary This thesis analyzes the level of formal independence granted to independent regulatory agencies in Georgia and draws parallels with the systems of the United States and the Great Britain. It demonstrates the pros and cons of independence of such agencies in Georgia in order to show that while IRAs might be an acceptable mode of regulating certain domains, unlimited formal independence, in itself, also poses considerable menace from the prospective of human rights and consumer protection, separation of power and democratic legitimacy. This thesis argues that granting unlimited formal independence to independent regulators always collides with principles of elective democracy and in this collision the latter should always be favored in order to restrain elected politicians from avoiding accountability.
