Obra colectiva en la que participan once autores de diversos países. En ella se analizan las nuevas coordenadas de una institución tan relevante y omnipresente como el procedimiento administrativo.

This book is devoted to the study of the Europeanization of Spanish administrative law, and its scope results, therefore, from the intersection of two basic notions. On the one hand, Europeanization is understood here as a top-down process of innovation suffered by national law as an outcome of the structural principles which govern the relations between European and national systems. On the other hand, the book focuses on some of the most important institutions of Spanish general administrative law, in order to give a wide and comprehensive insight into the transformations of the system, thus going beyond the description of the transformations experienced by the regulation of concrete sectors of administrative action. Specifically, the main topics discussed include regulation of administrative procedure, case law on the right to good administration, public procurement law, public services regulation, interim measures in judicial review, and the evolution of administrative sanctions.

This book presents an integrated approach to general questions of European administrative law and offers some possible solutions to the problems which it poses, the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe being the point of reference. Under the Treaty general questions of administrative law are no longer addressed merely in a fragmented or incidental way but as a discipline that governs the exercise of sovereign powers by a supranational entity. This calls for a detailed examination of the fields which comprise European administrative law and the book therefore examines in some detail the key areas of rulemaking powers and normative instruments, the implications of the Charter of Fundamental Rights for European and national administrations, administrative procedure, and judicial protection within the European Union. The Foreword to the book is written by Professor Carol Harlow.

Con la traducción de la presente obra se vierte al español una importante aportación del pensamiento jurídico-administrativo de nuestro tiempo. Bacigalupo, Mariano; Barnés Vázquez, Javier; García Luengo, Javier; García Macho, Ricardo; Huergo Lora, Alejandro; Rodríguez de Santiago, José Ma; Rodríguez Ruiz, Blanca; Valencia, Germán; Velasco Caballero, Francisco (trads.) El libro se ocupa de la ciencia del Derecho administrativo en los albores del siglo XXI, y no cabe duda de que contiene una de las más notables reflexiones de la doctrina alemana del Derecho público de los últimos años. El trabajo de Schmidt-Assman pretende compensar el déficit de contexto y sistema que afecta a no pocas obras jurídicas especializadas, en exceso descriptivas o apegadas a un concreto sector, faltas de inducción y deducción, y, en suma, de interacción con la teoría general; al tiempo que aspira también a equilibrar la obligada vinculación de la jurisprudencia al caso concreto, ajena a sistematización alguna.

Key chapters, written by leading experts across the field, engage with important ongoing debates in the field of EU administrative law, focusing on areas of topical interest such as financial markets, the growing security state and problematic common asylum procedures. In doing so, they provide a summary of what we know, don’t know and ought to know about EU administrative law. Examining the control functions of administrative law and the machinery for accountability, this Research Handbook eloquently challenges areas of authoritarian governance, such as the Eurozone and security state, where control and accountability are weak and tackles the seemingly insoluble question of citizen ‘voice’ and access to policy-making.

In this collection, leading figures in UK and EU public law address seismic changes the field and reflect upon the implications of these changes, the fundamentals of public law, and the interrelationship between them across six themes: legislation, case law, theory, institutions, process, and constitutions.
