Full Description
This insightful book analyses the theory and practice of administrative law in the European Union and its member states. Adopting a functional approach, Diana-Urania Galetta and Jacques Ziller provide a detailed overview of the law as it applies to EU institutions, bodies, offices, agencies, and member state authorities.
Drawing on insights from comparative law, Galetta and Ziller explore key topics including administrative procedure, judicial review, legal instruments and executive function, and investigate how multilingualism mediates the interaction of EU and member state law. The book highlights the importance of change and adaptability in EU administrative law, and examines the role of the policies and institutional systems that govern it.
Covering both primary and secondary EU law alongside the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice, this book is an essential resource for students and scholars of EU law and politics, administrative law, and institutional systems. It is also a valuable read for legal practitioners and administrators working in and implementing EU law.
