Codification of Administrative Procedure

The law on administrative procedure régulates the processes through

which administrative décisions and administrative projects are

elaborated. It is more and more regarded as essential in administrative

laws: it is really considered as the central part of it in some Systems.

In many jurisdictions, rules concerning administrative procédure are

codified, gathered in a single pièce of general legislation: in a few, it

remains non codified.

The book is made of the different contributions presented on the, topic

to the last congress of the International Academy of International Law

(Taipei, 2012): national reports on twenty countries and a general report.

These contributions examine the way administrative procedure became

codified, the obstacles which had to be overcome, the main orientations

of the codes, their evolution in time; alternatively, they explain why

administrative procedure is not codified.

Providing extensive materials on an issue which is a concern in many

administrative laws and many administrative systems, the book is

intended for all searchers and experts in administrative law and public

management, whether academics or practitioners.
