New Forms of Public Administration Activity
New Forms of Activity in Public Administration reflect the gradual transformation of the classical model of public authority based exclusively on unilateral, authoritative decision making towards more flexible, cooperative and often hybrid instruments of public governance. Digitalisation, European integration, the growing importance of public private cooperation, as well as an increased emphasis on efficiency, participation and good administration, have led to a diversification of the forms through which public administration intervenes in the legal sphere of individuals and other entities.
This section focuses on the identification, legal nature and limits of new forms of public administration activity, their relationship to traditional administrative acts and procedures, and issues of legality, accountability and the protection of the rights of affected persons. The conference particularly welcomes contributions addressing the following topics:
- non-traditional and hybrid forms of public administration activity (soft law, informal acts, recommendations, guidelines),
- contractual and consensual instruments in administrative law (administrative contracts),
- digitalisation of public administration and new forms of electronic communication and decision making,
- legal safeguards, judicial and administrative review of new forms of public administration activity,
- the influence of European Union law and case law on the development and legitimisation of new instruments of public administration.
