This online discussion seeks to set the scene for further discussions about the intellectual, conceptual, social, legal and practical interactions between comparative administrative law in Europe on the one hand and European administrative law on the other hand. These discussions are strongly anchored in practical topical issues arising from the interplays and interactions between the national and the European administrative systems.
These discussions start from a broadly positivist outlook, convinced that administrative law plays a distinctive function in allocating scarce resources in society and in ensuring a level of protection against arbitrary limitations brought to individuals’ rights and freedoms. However, they also seek to benefit from non-positivist insights, coming from legal theory, socio-legal research, and/or other relevant interdisciplinary contributions.
