Full textAbstract:
Estuda-se nesta tese o conteúdo jurídico do princípio da impessoalidade, previsto no art. 37, caput, da Constituição Federal de 1988, especificamente para fins de parametrização, controle e responsabilidade das decisões administrativas. Estruturam-se três eixos temáticos: a) noções introdutórias ideias de aproximação necessárias ao contexto e ao conceito do princípio da impessoalidade e do alcance de sua projeção nas decisões administrativas (póspositivismo e neoconstitucionalismo; constitucionalização; julgamento por princípios; relevância dos princípios; interesse público; direito administrativo como sistema; neutralidade política e a questão da justiça); b) impessoalidade no direito administrativo comprovação de que o princípio da impessoalidade ostenta arquétipo aberto para conferir maiores cobertura e proteção aos valores tutelados pelo texto constitucional, com ênfase à organização administrativa impessoal para assegurar um agir naturalmente impessoal (instrumentalização recíproca de princípios constitucionais; antecedentes históricos; direito estrangeiro; doutrina brasileira; impessoalidade na Constituição, nas leis e na jurisprudência; conceito de impessoalidade); c) impessoalidade nas decisões administrativas construção de um conceito de impessoalidade específico para as decisões administrativas, concebido desde a ideia de ponderação e conciliação de todos os interesses legítimos públicos e privados envolvidos em cada caso concreto (conceito e distinção de decisão administrativa impessoal em relação à decisão judicial imparcial; garantias e requisitos para a adoção de decisões impessoais, com destaque para os deveres de fundamentação (motivação), processualização e participação; algumas implicações de decisões impessoais [funcionário de fato; diminuição da discricionariedade; desvio de poder; motivação na dispensa de empregados públicos; responsabilidade civil extracontratual do Estado; necessidade de reconhecimento dos direitos dos administrados; nepotismo e revisitação da reformatio in pejus]; consequências da quebra da impessoalidade nas decisões administrativas [anulação; responsabilização do Estado e responsabilização do servidor] e, finalmente, técnicas para adoção de decisões administrativas impessoais).<br>This essay intends to analyze the juridical concept of the principle of impersonality, embraced in the article 37 of the Constitution of 1988, in order to establish standards of parameterization, control and liability in the administrative decisions. The essay comprises three main fields of analysis: a) introductory concepts preliminary approach to comprehend the theoretical and the political context in which is developed the scope and the enforcementof the principle of impersonality in the processes that lead to administrative decisions (postpositivism and neoconstitutionalism; the enforcement of principles; public interest; Administrative Law as a system; politic neutrality and the issue of Justice); b) the principle of impersonality within the Administrative Law - analysis of the scope of protection of the principle, aiming to demonstrate that its juridical concept must be considered in a wide open perspective in order to guarantee a strong protection of the constitutional values. In this part, it will be emphasized that the development of a impartial administrative conduct is closely related to the idea of a impartial administrative organization. (historical background; foreign legislation; Brazilian legal doctrine; the principle of the impersonality within the constitutional rules, the specific legislation and the judicial precedents; juridical concept of the principle); c) the enforcement of the principle of impersonality in administrative decisions - In this part it is developed the juridical concept of the principle in the field of the deliberative administrative proceedings. This juridical concept embraces the idea of balancing and conciliating all legitimate interests - public or private - involved in a determined situation that requires a administrative deliberation (distinctions between impersonal and impartial administrative decisions; standards to create a impersonal decision-making; specific implications of impersonal decisions; legal consequences arising from the disregard of the principle of impersonality in administrative decisions; legal techniques that lead to a impersonal administrative decision-making).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the uncertainty in Canadian public law arising from the Supreme Court of Canada’s decision in Doré v Barreau du Québec [Doré] regarding judicial review of rights-limiting administrative decisions. Prior to Doré, the courts applied differing approaches when reviewing the constitutionality of discretionary administrative decisions, vacillating between review under the Charter or an administrative law approach. With Doré, the Court has attempted to resolve the longstanding debate about the appropriate methodological approach to judicial review of administrative decisions for compliance with the Charter, holding that an administrative law approach should be applied. The “Doré approach” requires an assessment of whether the administrative decision reflects a proportionate balancing of the relevant Charter values with the statutory objectives.
I analyze the Doré approach, with reference to the historical jurisprudence and academic literature. I suggest that a number of questions and uncertainties are raised by the Court’s lack of guidance on how this approach deals with some of the significant tensions in the relationship between administrative law and the Charter. In particular, the Doré approach does not guarantee that administrative decisions infringing on Charter rights and freedoms are subject only to “such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society” (as required by section 1 of the Charter).
I propose an analytical methodology for judicial review of rights-limiting administrative decisions that is carried out within an administrative law framework but incorporates the spirit of section 1 of the Charter (and the proportionality analysis adopted by the Court in R v Oakes). This approach builds on the Doré “proportionate balancing” approach to create a review framework that: 1. Provides greater assurance that rights-limiting administrative decisions will only be justified if the limit meets the rule of law principles underlying the section 1 “prescribed by law” requirement, and 2. Scrutinizes the decision in a more rigorous manner than the review undertaken in Doré. This recommended approach offers a more coherent and unified conception of the relationship between administrative law and the Charter, and better respects the requirements in section 1 of the Charter.

Full textAbstract:
Doctor of Education<br>Department of Educational Leadership<br>Trudy A. Salsberry<br>Much of the research on women advancing in higher education has been focused on the external barriers and how to break down the barriers. Initiatives and programs have been implemented, but the number of women in upper-level administrative positions in higher education, although increasing, is not increasing in proportion to women's overall numbers in education and the work force. The structure and processes at work in a particular situation can change more readily than changing people's behaviors directly. With this in mind, the purpose of this study was to take a positive approach by looking to women who have reached the upper-level administrative arena and investigate what influential factors were responsible for motivating them to this achievement.
This qualitative multi-case study used the elements of Bandura's Model of Reciprocal Determination, specifically self-efficacy, personal behavior, and environmental factors to determine the factors motivating women to upper-level administrative positions. Eighteen women who have reached the upper-level administrative positions (e.g., provost, vice-president or vice-provost) at land-grant universities were interviewed.
The themes of this study suggest that support groups and individual mentors were important motivating factors because these groups and individuals encouraged, coached, and supported women administrators on their decisions to enter higher education and then as they pursued upper-level administrative positions. In addition, women felt successful when they were able to be the nurturers, assisting and influencing others to succeed. Also, the women administrators recognized the need for knowledge, skills, and experience to assist in their career advancement. Furthermore, they emphasized developing and evaluating personal values, and ensured their personal values fit with institutional values. At the same time, women administrators stressed the value of time and the choices they made to balance time between work and family and between work and personal time. Recommendations to implement initiatives to promote and support the motivational factors identified in this study are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between administrative support and retention of early career special education teachers. Research has shown that there is a shortage of special education teachers; however, teachers leaving the field may be driving the shortages. Based on the work of Schein’s (2003) theory of organizational culture, this study identified how different types of support (i.e., emotional, instructional, technical, and environmental) can influence early career special education teachers’ decision to remain in their current position. Participants, including teachers and administrators from a suburban school division in Virginia, completed a modified version of the Administrative Support Survey. A correlational research design was used to answer research questions comparing support perceived by principals to support received by teachers and support perceived by teachers to support provided by administrators.
An analysis of variance (ANOVA), independent samples t-test, and descriptive statistics were conducted. Results revealed that the majority of teachers reported they received support and intended on returning to their position. However, the teachers who reported they were not returning to their position indicated receiving little support from their principals. Further, differences in support were also reported by race, grade level, disability taught, licensing status, and delivery model of instruction. Limitations and implications for practice, policy, and research are reported.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the concept of “deference” in relation to judicial review of administrative decisions in Canada, and then compares this approach to judicial review to that which exists in the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Australia. Canadian courts have adopted a system of “substantive review” of administrative decisions, at least since 1979 (if not earlier), and will generally show deference to the decision-maker. It is important to note that Canadian courts have interpreted the word “deference” not as subservience (an approach that would make judicial review pointless), but as a form of “respectful attention” to the decision under review. Canadian courts recognise that they do not have a monopoly of wisdom on matters of statutory interpretation, but will step in to set a decision aside when that decision is unreasonable in some sense. Courts in the United Kingdom have recognised at least since 1987 that the classic standard of Wednesbury unreasonableness – that the decision is “so unreasonable that no reasonable person could have made it” – is not suitable for all kinds of administrative decisions, and have moved to a system whereby there is a “variegated standard” of reasonableness on judicial review for matters not covered by the Human Rights Act 1998, and a proportionality approach for those that are. The law in New Zealand is not as clear, because the Supreme Court has yet to squarely approach the issue, but the lower courts certainly appear to be moving in a similar direction. However, Australian courts vehemently deny that they show any deference to administrative decision-makers, and Australian academic commentators are equally insistent that such an approach is legally suspect at best and mere obsequiousness to government at worst. This is despite the fact that Australia has always recognised Wednesbury unreasonableness as a ground of judicial review. This thesis attempts to dispel some of the Australian arguments against a deference approach, particularly in relation to s.75 of the Australian Constitution, and concludes that Australia would be best off adopting a form of substantive review of administrative decisions, similar to that which exists in Canada.

Weller, James Clayton. "Abrasive teachers and principal response| A mixed-methods exploration of administrative decisions regarding teachers who bully students." Thesis, Andrews University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3625927.
Full textAbstract:
<p> Problem and Purpose</p><p> The American K-12 school principal is responsible for providing a learning environment that is physically and emotionally safe. An abrasive teacher who displays bullying behaviors towards students is a threat to that environment, impeding student academic progress and decreasing student perceptions of safety. Principals intervene, with risk to themselves. </p><p> This study sought to understand principal intervention by: (a) estimating the prevalence of abrasive teachers, (b) asking how principals identify abrasive teachers, (c) classifying situational elements that enhance or inhibit the principal's motivation to intervene, (d) exploring the interventions principals used, (e) examining the effects those interventions had on the schools, and (f) searching for patterns in interventions that might be helpful to theorists and practitioners. </p><p> Method</p><p> A fully integrated, mixed-methods design was used in collecting and interpreting data from 515 surveys and 21 semi-structured, in-depth interviews. The volunteer sample was composed of K-12 principals from California public and private schools. Findings were based on the perceptions of the principals. Principal perception was used due to the principal's legal and moral responsibility for the school, its students, and its teachers, and due to his/her access to all school stakeholders. </p><p> Results </p><p> The study found that four out of five (80.1%) of the schools represented in the study currently have—or in the past 3 years have had—an average of 2.9 abrasive teachers. The teachers were disproportionately distributed across grade levels, subject areas, sex of the teachers, years of teaching experience, and race. </p><p> The study identified five types of teacher maltreatment of students: verbal, professional, physical, non-verbal, and social. The study found that student symptoms could be grouped under the headings of emotional states, psychosomatic manifestations, fight responses, flight responses, and asking for help. The study also categorized the various theories principals hold to explain why a teacher would use abrasive behaviors. </p><p> Nearly half of the reported interventions resulted in improved teacher performance as perceived by the principal. Nearly a quarter resulted in the teacher leaving the classroom, and a little more than a quarter resulted in no change or in the worsening of the situation. Local teacher unions sometimes worked cooperatively with the principal who was striving for the professional improvement or removal of a teacher. More often, unions impeded the principal's role of safeguarding the learning environment for each student. Due to the exploratory nature of this study, additional textual analyses were conducted, and 14 additional hypotheses and 18 sub-hypotheses were tested. </p><p> Conclusions and Recommendations</p><p> From the findings it was concluded: (a) abrasive teachers were present in a large majority of schools, (b) anxious principals were less likely to use interventions that required action with tangible outcomes, (c) schools need a systemic approach to dealing with aggression on all levels within the school community, and (d) principals and unions should develop ways to maintain teacher protections without sabotaging student learning. </p><p> Implications for practice include six recommendations for school stakeholders, three themes that should be included in professional development for principals, and 12 pieces of advice that veteran principals wished to give to rookie principals. The study ends with six specific recommendations for further research.</p>

Ameer, Rashid. "Financial liberalization and dynamics of firm-level financing and investment decisions in the Southeast Asian countries." Thesis, Aston University, 2007. http://publications.aston.ac.uk/10895/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the dynamics of firm-level financing and investment decisions for six Southeast Asian countries. The study provides empirical evidence on the impacts of changes in the firm-level financing decisions during the period of financial liberalization by considering the debt and equity financing decisions of a set of non-financial firms. The empirical results show that firms in Indonesia, Pakistan, and South Korea have relatively faster speed of adjustment than other Southeast Asian countries to attain optimal debt and equity ratios in response to banking sector and stock market liberalization. In addition, contrary to widely held belief that firms adjust their financial ratios to industry levels, the results indicate that industry factors do not significantly impact on the speed of capital structure adjustments. This study also shows that non-linear estimation methods are more appropriate than linear estimation methods for capturing changes in capital structure. The empirical results also show that international stock market integration of these countries has significantly reduced the equity risk premium as well as the firm-level cost of equity capital. Thus stock market liberalization is associated with a decrease in the cost of equity capital of the firms. Developments in the securities markets infrastructure have also reduced the cost of equity capital. However, with increased integration there is the possibility of capital outflows from the emerging markets, which might reverse the pattern of decrease in cost of capital in these markets.

DigitalCommons@Robert W. Woodruff Library, Atlanta University Center, 1989. http://digitalcommons.auctr.edu/dissertations/3759.
Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the effectiveness of the Prescription Learning Program (PLP) and its impact on the reading achievement of second grade students in the Atlanta Public Schools. The intent of this study was to examine the PLP in order to determine implications for administrative and instructional decisions. The study posed the following questions: 1. What are the effects of the Prescription Learning Program on the reading achievement of second grade students as measured by the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills? 2. What are the effects of the Prescription Learning Program on improving student motivation as related to the instructional program? 3. What are the effects of teacher acceptance and utilization of the Prescription Learning Program on the reading achievement of second grade students? 4. What are the effects of the implementation practices and procedures of the Prescription Learning Program on student reading achievement at the second grade level? 5. Is there a difference in the reading achievement of students participating in the Atlanta Public Schools model technology sites and of those in the regular program as measured by the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills? The study encompassed the use of the descriptive survey technique. Three questionnaires were designed by the researcher to survey the opinions of students, teachers, and administrators. Test data from the second grade Iowa Tests of Basic Skills was used to measure student reading achievement. Analysis of the data was made by using the T-test to determine the statistical difference between the means of the Pre-PLP and Post-PLP reading achievement test data. The Chi-Square statistical tool was used to analyze total frequencies obtained from the survey instrument administered to second grade students. The major conclusions that resulted from the study are as follows: 1. The results of the 1989 reading achievement section of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills showed significant gains for students who were actively involved with microcomputers as an instructional tool. Basal reading objectives were correlated with software programs developed by the PLP. This correlation of objectives and student interaction with the computers did promote significant gains in reading for second grade students in the model technology program. 2. All null hypotheses related to student motivation were accepted. Students are positively stimulated by interaction with the computer. All 300 students surveyed stated they enjoyed using the computer. 3. The intervening variable of teacher acceptance did make a significant difference in student achievement as measured by the 1989 ITBS results. Students in schools categorized as low in acceptance reported a negative gain of -4.8 on the ITBS, while students in schools categorized as high in acceptance reported a gain of 2.3. 4. The variations in implementation practices and procedures did not significantly impact student reading achievement at the second grade level. 5. Test data analyzed from the (1989) ITBS revealed significant reading gains for the students in the model technology program. A difference in mean scores for the 1988-89 school years indicated a reading gain of 2.9 for students in the model program and a -0.6 decrease for students in the regular program.

Thomas, Jerry D. "LAW AND IDEOLOGY IN THE U.S. COURTS OF APPEALS JUDICIAL REVIEW OF FEDERAL AGENCY DECISIONS." UKnowledge, 2010. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/gradschool_diss/115.
Full textAbstract:
The attitudinal model of judicial behavior dominates judicial politics scholarship, including studies of federal courts and agencies. Extant research finds limited support for legal constraints as determinants of judge behavior when agency decisions are under review. Attitudinal scholars suggest judges substitute their policy preferences in place of agency preferences. Contrarily, the legal model suggests judges defer to agencies because of procedures and doctrine rooted in the rule of law.
This study tests hypotheses predicting whether federal agency review decisions in the U.S. Courts of Appeals during 1982-2002 are a function of judges‘ attitudes, namely ideology, or a function of legal constraints, including agency adherence to legally prescribed procedures and agency passing standard-of-review muster. Using logistic regression, I examine the impact of legal and ideological variables on the outcome of judges‘ reviews of agency decisions.
Results support several hypotheses. Agency adherence to procedural standards, such as those outlined in the Administrative Procedures Act, increases the likelihood that a review panel will defer to the agency. If review panels and judges answer standard-of-review questions favorably toward agencies, review panels and judges are more likely to support agencies in final case outcomes. Individual judge votes to support agencies are influenced by the ideology of other judges on the review panel: if the ideology of the review panel is in agreement with the agency position, individual judges are more likely to support agencies in final case outcomes. Finally, a judge is more likely to dissent when he/she is in ideological (dis)agreement with the agency position.
In sum, results suggest that judges‘ regard for law and regard for their judge colleagues informs decisionmaking. Judges often defer to federal administrative agencies, even when their personal policy preferences are not found to be significantly associated with decisions. Judges‘ ideological preferences appear to be less important in the U.S. Courts of Appeals than previous scholarship indicates, but ideology may influence judges‘ decisions through the ideological composition of the review panel and in dissent behavior. The implication is that the legal model of judicial behavior may be more prominent than the attitudinal model in the U.S. Courts of Appeals.

Full textAbstract:
<p> Public reaction after violent incidents in schools have led policymakers and school officials to institute security measures including zero tolerance policies and police officers. Researchers reported an increase in student arrest rates and exclusionary discipline rates for minor offenses after implementing these initiatives.</p><p> This study focused on student arrest rates and exclusionary discipline measures in two high schools among School Resource Officers (SRO)/School Based Police Officers (SBPO) and secondary administrators over two school years. Furthermore, the study examined the factors influencing arrest decisions of the School Resource Officers/School Based Police Officers involved. The data collected answered these questions: 1. What factors contribute to the School Resource Officers'/School Based Police Officers' decisions of whether to arrest students in the school setting? 2. How do zero tolerance approaches influence student arrest rates and student exclusionary discipline rates in schools that utilize School Resource Officers/School Based Police Officers? 3. What role do the School Resource Officers/School Based Police Officers have in the school environment?</p><p> A descriptive research method, utilizing interviews, surveys and student arrest and discipline information, was used to answer these questions. The participants in this study were selected using purposive sampling based on their assignment in a secondary school.</p><p> This study reported that there were similarities among the police officers regarding the factors affecting the arrest decisions. This was reasonably consistent with the research. Most students in the study were arrested at both site locations for minor misconduct in 2014-15 but major offenses in 2015-16. The exclusionary discipline rates were dependent on site location. This appeared to be an indication that it had little to do with the SROs/SBPOs assigned to the schools and much more to do with the administrative leadership within the respective schools.</p><p> The findings indicate a need for ongoing collaboration and communication between the supervisors of the schools and law enforcement agencies. Furthermore, the implementation of a positive approach to student behavior rather than a punitive approach may assist in reducing the amount of exclusionary outcomes. Lastly, training for the police officers related to interactions with misbehaving students may assist in changing their arrest decisions.</p><p>

"Bankernas offentligrättsliga karaktär : En jämförelse mellan bankernas begränsade möjligheter att tillämpa condictio indebiti och förvaltningsmyndigheternas begränsade möjligheter att återkalla gynnande förvaltningsbeslut." Thesis, Högskolan i Jönköping, Internationella Handelshögskolan, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-21577.
Full textAbstract:
Condictio indebiti innebär att felaktiga betalningar skall gå åter. Banker har emellertid svårt att förlita sig på denna huvudregel. Bankernas centrala ställning i samhället kombinerat med deras uppgift att korrekt förmedla transaktioner, försätter dem i en förtroendeställning. Mottagaren skall kunna lita på att en utbetalning från en bank är korrekt. Bankernas utbetalningar har blivit ett genomgående undantag till principen om condictio indebiti. Praxis har stadgat att banker i princip aldrig återfår en felaktig utbetalning. Av detta kan en ny huvudregel för banker konstateras, att en felaktig utbetalning från en bank skall kvarstå hos mottagaren. Liknande strikta regler finns för förvaltningsmyndigheter. Förvaltningsmyndigheter meddelar beslut och uppsatsen fokuserar på beslut av gynnande karaktär. Det vill säga beslut som innebär någon form av fördel för mottagaren, till exempel tillstånd, ekonomiskt bistånd eller bifallen ansökan. Huvudregeln för gynnande förvaltningsbeslut är att dessa inte kan återkallas utom i fyra undantagsfall. Detta på grund av att den enskilde skall kunna förlita sig på beslutet och inrätta sig efter det. Huvudregeln för återkallelse av förvaltningsbeslut och den nya huvudregeln för återbetalning till banker, är lika. Anledningen till svårigheten att återkalla/återfå något från den gynnade parten är att både banker och myndigheter anses ha en förtroendeställning. Förtroendeställningen beror dels på den enskildes trygghetsperspektiv men även på bankers och myndigheters större möjligheter att ha en god överblick över dessa situationer. Begränsningarna i återkallelse/återbetalning motiveras vidare med att det alternativ som är minst kännbart, skall väljas. Detta resulterar i att mottagaren av beslutet eller transaktionen i princip alltid påverkas mer om återkallelse eller återbetalning skulle ske, än vad banker eller myndigheter påverkas av att beslutet eller transaktionen kvarstår. Likheterna i dessa motiveringar visar att banker behandlas, trots att de är att anses som privaträttsliga subjekt, såsom ett offentligrättsligt subjekt.<br>The principle of condictio indebiti means that a faulty transaction should be repaid. This general rule is however, not easily applicable on banks. The central position the banks possess in our community combined with one of its main tasks, to correctly manage transactions and payments, put the banks in a position of trust. Customers should have unconditional trust in a transaction from a bank and its correctness. Hence, the bank has become an exception to the principle of condictio indebiti. Case studies have shown that banks will never be repaid for a faulty transaction. According to this, a new principle can be stated, that a faulty transaction from a bank shall remain with the recipient. Similar strict rules are to be found for the administrative authorities. Administrative authorities pass decisions and this essay focuses on decisions of favorable character. That is decisions that involve some kind of benefit for the recipient such as; permissions, financial assistance and approved applications. The general rule for favorable administrative decision is that these can not be withdrawn because the recipient should be able to trust, and act according to, a decision of an administrative authority. The general rules for these actions, withdrawal and reimbursement, are similar. The reason for the difficulty in withdrawal and reimbursement is that both banks and administrative authorities are considered to have a position of trust. The individual should always be able to trust an action from these two institutions. The position of trust is based on individuals need for security and that banks and administrative authorities have more knowledge and ability to overview the situation. Withdrawal and reimbursement should therefore never be preceded if it generates a disadvantage for the individual. The court should select the available option resulting in least negative impact. This justifies the difficulties in withdrawing or reimbursing an action that is favorable for the individual. Withdrawal and reimbursement will often have more negative impact on the recipients compared to how it affects banks and administrative authorities if the transaction or decision withstands. These similarities show that banks are treated as a public entity even though they are regarded as a private entity.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis is a comparative legal analysis of environmental principles in environmental law. Environmental principles are novel concepts in environmental law and they have a high profile in environmental law scholarship. This high profile is promoted by two factors – the high hopes that environmental law scholars have for environmental principles, and the increasing prevalence of environmental principles in legal systems, particularly in case law. This thesis analyses the latter, mapping doctrinal developments involving environmental principles in two jurisdictions and court systems – the courts of the European Union and the New South Wales Land and Environment Court. This doctrinal mapping has both narrow and broad aims. Narrowly, it identifies the legal roles in fact taken on by environmental principles within legal systems. Broadly, and building on this assessment, it responds to scholarly hopes that environmental principles (can) perform a range of significant roles in environmental law, including solving both environmental problems and legal problems in environmental law scholarship. These hopes are based on assumptions about environmental principles that have methodological weaknesses, including that environmental principles are universal and that they fit pre-existing models of ‘legal principles’ drawn from other areas of legal scholarship. The thesis exposes these methodological problems and concludes that environmental principles are not panaceas for pressing and perceived problems in environmental law. It does this by showing that the legal roles of environmental principles, which are significant in environmental law and its current evolution, can only be understood by closely analysing the legal cultures in which they feature. This is a conclusion for environmental law scholarship generally – while environmental issues and problems may be urgent and often global, legal analysis of the law that applies to those problems requires close engagement with legal systems and cultures, as they are and as they develop.

Previous issue date: 2011<br>Este texto aborda a necessidade de motivar e processualizar a dispensa dos empregados estatais tendo em vista os princípios constitucionais direcionados à Administração Pública e a consagração constitucional do Estado Democrático de Direito que refuta a arbitrariedade e exige a participação do cidadão na tomada de decisões estatais. Pretendeu-se a partir desses princípios estabelecer parâmetros constitucionalmente justificados para regular os critérios de dispensa dos empregados estatais seja por justa causa, seja sem justa causa tendo em vista que a legislação infraconstitucional não estipula critérios específicos a respeito do assunto. Em face desses critérios fundamentados na Constituição é possível constatar que a dispensa do trabalhador estatal vinculado a qualquer órgão ou ente estatal independentemente da natureza jurídica do empregador deve ser precedida de ato expressamente motivado. Firma-se ainda o entendimento segundo o qual esse ato que é uma verdadeira decisão estatal deve ser construído processualmente de modo a permitir a participação dialética do trabalhador afetado pela dispensa. Finalmente descortina-se a compreensão de que o processo administrativo para a dispensa do empregado estatal mais do que uma exigência da democracia ou da Constituição da República é veículo que transporta a dignidade da pessoa humana do trabalhador e a sua cidadania.<br>Salvador

Full textAbstract:
Médaille à double face, l’excès de pouvoir judiciaire se dédouble selon qu’il caractérise le comportement du juge qui est sorti du cercle de ses attributions ou son attitude lorsqu’il refuse de juger ou de se reconnaître un pouvoir que la loi lui confère. Cette dichotomie entre excès de pouvoir positif d’une part, et excès de pouvoir négatif d’autre part, est majoritairement étrangère à l’étude de l’excès de pouvoir administratif. Bien que désormais entendu plus largement que son pendant judiciaire, l’excès de pouvoir de l’administration n’est jamais présenté comme un concept susceptible de se dédoubler en fonction de la nature positive ou négative de l’illégalité commise. Ce paradoxe résulte moins de l’absence d’une telle dualité que de la prédominance d’une conception historiquement positive de l’excès de pouvoir administratif qui ramène toute illégalité à un dépassement par l’autorité administrative des limites assignées à son pouvoir. L’exploration des « diverses manifestations caractérisées de l’excès de pouvoir » suffit à constater qu’en filigrane des classifications traditionnelles, les illégalités négatives sont diffuses et multiples. Elles ont en commun de traduire la violation négative par l’autorité administrative des normes qui s’imposent à elle dans son activité juridique, soit parce que l’acte est entaché d’un vice négatif, soit parce qu’elle a illégalement refusé d’adopter un acte positif. Le dessin des contours d’une conception négative de l’excès de pouvoir permet de constater que ses manifestations appellent, de la part du juge administratif, l’exercice de pouvoirs particuliers. L’émancipation progressive de la dimension négative de son office pour lui permettre d’agir positivement à destination de l’administration ou directement sur l’acte administratif répond à un tel impératif. Symptomatique, à bien des égards, de réflexions structurelles qui traversent l’étude du contentieux administratif, l’étude de l’excès de pouvoir négatif de l’administration invite à la réflexion sur la nature changeante des relations tissées par le juge avec l’administration dont il assure le contrôle des actes et le justiciable aux attentes duquel il cherche à répondre<br>Double-sided medal, the judicial abuse of power is doubled depending on whether it characterizes the behavior of the judge who has left the circle of his attributions or his attitude when he refuses to judge or to recognize a power that the law confers on him. This dichotomy between positive abuse of power on the one hand, and negative abuse of power on the other hand, is largely foreign to the study of the abuse of power of the administration. Although now understood more broadly than its judicial counterpart, the abuse of power of the administration is never presented as a concept susceptible to duplicate according to the positive or negative nature of the committed illegality. This paradox results less from the absence of such a duality than from the predominance of a historically positive conception of the abuse of power of the administration which reduces any illegality to an overrun by the administrative authority of the limits assigned to its power. The exploration of 'the various manifestations characterized by abuse of power' suffices to note that under the traditional classifications, negative illegalities are diffuse and multiple. They have in common that they reflect the negative violation by the administrative authority of the standards imposed on it in its legal activity, either because the act is tainted with a negative defect, or because it has illegally refused to adopt a positive act. The nature of these illegalities, the sum of which draws the outlines of a negative conception of abuse of power, calls for the exercise of special powers on the part of the administrative judge. The gradual emancipation of the negative dimension of one's role to enable it to act positively for the administration or directly on the administrative act responds to such an imperative. Symptomatic, in many respects, of structural reflections that run through the study of administrative litigation, the study of the negative abuse of power of the administration invites reflection on the changing nature of the relations forged by the judge with the administration of which it ensures the control of acts and the litigant whose expectations it meets

Strategic decisions involving mergers and acquisitions often hinge on one or two critical evaluations. Similarly, when hiring a new manager, potential candidates are often rejected if they are lacking on a critical dimension. In my dissertation, I examined the way in which these critical dimensions are used to screen decision alternatives. Specifically, I am examining the nature of Image Theory's violation and rejection thresholds (the compatibility test) in the screening and elimination of undesirable decision options. In contrast to traditional decision theory, which focuses on choice (i.e., maximization of expected value), recent studies suggest that pre-choice screening of options may account for the greater part of one's decision activities and that choice serves merely to select the best of the options that survive screening. The point of the present research is to explore the variables that influence decision makers' appraisal of option compatibility. For example, I determined one such variable as the "killer variable", which is a feature of an option that is extreme in nature (wholly unacceptable or acceptable) to the decision maker. Its inclusion, regardless of the attractiveness of the rest of the option's features, counteracts usual decisions. My research also determined that individual features have the ability to effect the rejection, as well as the violation, threshold. My research tests this and similar hypotheses about screening.

Full textAbstract:
Si tous les juges sont appelés à appliquer la Constitution, le Conseil d'Etat, a une situation particulière. Il a, à apprécier, plus souvent que les autres juges, la conformité à la Constitution de l'action administrative. La soumission des actes administratifs à la Constitution ne doit pas nécessairement passer par une juridiction constitutionnelle. Le Contrôle de constitutionnalité des actes administratifs doit se superposer et même se confondre avec le contrôle de légalité. Le système de contrôle de constitutionnalité introduit en 1990, a privé les juridictions ordinaires de la faculté d'exercer le contrôle de constitutionnalité des lois. Le régime du Conseil Constitutionnel offre sans doute moins de garanties du fait que la porte du Conseil Constitutionnel est étroite et demeure interdite aux particuliers, ainsi qu'aux juges ordinaires. Ce régime considère le juge ordinaire comme incompétent pour assurer un contrôle de constitutionnalité de la loi. En effet, l'article 18 de la loi 250/93 du 14 juillet 1993 relative à l'institution du Conseil constitutionnel dispose que le Conseil Constitutionnel contrôle la constitutionnalité des lois et textes ayant force de loi. Nonobstant toute disposition contraire, nulle autre autorité judiciaire ne peut exercer ce contrôle par voie d'action ou d'exception d'inconstitutionnalité ou de violation du principe de la hiérarchie des normes et textes. Ainsi, le Conseil constitutionnel ne contrôle pas la constitutionnalité des lois promulguées avant sa création, le juge ordinaire y compris le Conseil d'Etat ne peut exercer un tel contrôle par voie d'action ni par voie d'exception. Le juge ordinaire ne peut donc plus refuser d'appliquer une loi sous prétexte de son inconstitutionnalité et n'est plus autorisé, à quelque titre que ce soit, à opérer un contrôle de constitutionnalité de la loi. L'intervention du juge administratif statuant comme juge constitutionnel peut contribuer à résoudre le problème de déni de justice existant dans le système juridique libanais. Les règles constitutionnelles s'imposent au juge administratif qui doit respecter ses principes dans les décisions qu'il prend. Etant la norme suprême, la Constitution s'impose donc de manière immédiate aux autorités administratives. Pour cela les normes constitutionnelles sont incorporées dans les sources de légalité que le juge administratif se doit de faire respecter. Le Conseil d'Etat est chargé du contrôle de la conformité des actes normatifs par rapport à la Constitution. Cette fonction de contrôle induit la fonction d'interprétation des normes constitutionnelles. Le juge administratif exerce des fonctions similaires : il assure le contrôle de la conformité des actes administratifs par rapport à la Constitution et il est interprète de la Constitution. Le Conseil d'Etat ne peut pas contrôler tous les actes administratifs, puisque certains d'entre eux violent la Constitution du seul fait qu'ils appliquent une loi inconstitutionnelle. Mais selon la théorie de l'écran législatif, la loi fait écran entre la Constitution et l'acte contrôlé. La mission du Conseil d'Etat est-elle, de mettre en cause l'application de cette loi inconstitutionnelle. Cette mission ne peut se concrétiser que si le Conseil d'Etat agit comme juge constitutionnel, c'est-à-dire que s'il est amené à contrôler la constitutionnalité des actes administratifs En France, le système de contrôle de constitutionnalité instauré par la Constitution de 1958 limitait le contrôle de constitutionnalité des lois à un contrôle de priori. Tout juge, ne pouvait qu'appliquer la loi, même inconstitutionnelle. Ce problème a été résolu en France en 2008 par la réforme constitutionnelle opérée par la loi constitutionnelle n°2008-724 du 23 juillet 2008 qui ajoute un article 61-1 à la Constitution<br>If all judges are required to apply the Constitution, the Council of State, has a special status. He has to appreciate more often than the other judges, compliance with the Constitution of the administrative action. Submission of administrative acts to the Constitution need not go through a constitutional court. Control of the constitutionality of administrative acts must overlap and even merge with the judicial review. The system of constitutional review introduced in 1990, has deprived the ordinary courts of the power to exercise control of the constitutionality of laws. The regime of the Constitutional Council has probably less guarantees that the door of the Constitutional Council is narrow and is forbidden to individuals, as well as ordinary judges. This scheme considers the ordinary courts incompetent for a constitutional review of the law. Indeed, Article 18 of the law 250/93 of 14 July 1993 on the establishment of the Constitutional Council provides that the Constitutional Council reviews the constitutionality of laws and instruments having the force of law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no other court may exercise this control by action or unconstitutionality or violation of the principle of hierarchy of norms and texts. Thus, the Constitutional Council does not control the constitutionality of laws enacted prior to its creation, the ordinary courts including the State Council may exercise such control by action or by way of exception. The ordinary courts can no longer refuse to enforce a statute on the grounds of its unconstitutionality and is no longer allowed in any capacity whatsoever, to exercise control of the constitutionality of the law. The intervention of the administrative judge acting as a constitutional judge may help solve the problem of denial of justice existing in the Lebanese legal system.Constitutional rules apply to the administrative judge must respect its principles in the decisions it makes. Being the supreme law, the Constitution is therefore required immediate way to administrative authorities. For that constitutional standards are incorporated into the sources of legality that the administrative judge must enforce. The State Council is responsible for monitoring the compliance of normative acts with the Constitution. This control function causes the function of interpretation of constitutional provisions. The administrative judge exercising similar functions: it supervises the compliance of administrative acts with the Constitution and is interpreter of the Constitution. The Council of State cannot control all administrative acts, as some of them violate the Constitution merely because they apply an unconstitutional law. But according to the theory of legislative screen, the law shields between the Constitution and the controlled act. The mission of the State Council is she to question the application of this law unconstitutional. This mission can only be achieved if the Council of State acts as the constitutional court, that is to say, if it is required to review the constitutionality of administrative acts In France, the system of constitutional review introduced by the 1958 Constitution limited the constitutionality of laws to control a priori. Any judge could not apply the law, even unconstitutional. This problem was solved in France in 2008 by the constitutional reform made by the Constitutional Act No. 2008-724 of 23 July 2008 which adds Article 61-1 of the Constitution

Purpose: to investigate the current mechanism for appeals against the decision of the competitive
selection commissions of economic entities’ heads in the state sector of economy as a type of a public-legal
dispute and to express an opinion on the regulation of these relations in Ukraine. Research methods:
general-scientific and special-legal methods of scientific knowledge, in particular: system-structural and
functional methods, method of observation, method of generalization, methods of analysis and synthesis have
been applied. Results: the current normative regulation of the procedure for appeals against the decision of
the competitive selection commissions of economic entities’ heads in the state sector of economy as a type of
a public-legal dispute has been analyzed and the judicial practice has been assessed. Discussion: there is a
significant lack of scientific research on appeals against the decision of the competitive selection
commissions of economic entities’ heads in the state sector of economy as a type of a public-legal dispute.
This issue has not been considered in many aspects, and various objective indicators have not been taken
into account, so the level of research on the theme is low. This is due to the novelty of this theme, as appeals
against the decisions of competitive commissions in the public (administrative) process are from the
beginning of 2020. Previously, this type of relations was considered only in the context of civil law.

Full textAbstract:
Le régime d'autorisation est traditionnellement présenté comme un instrument depolice institué dans le but d'éviter que l'exercice de certaines libertés ne trouble l'ordre public. De cette fonction du régime d'autorisation se déduisent les principaux caractères de l'acte d'autorisation, acte unilatéral de police, précaire et incessible. Chacun de ces caractères se trouve cependant partiellement démenti par certaines évolutions du droit positif, en particulier par le phénomène de patrimonialisation qui touche un nombre croissant d'autorisations. Jusqu'à présent, ces évolutions n'ont été appréhendées que comme des exceptions à des principes dont la prétention à la généralité valait encore. L'ampleur de ces évolutions invite cependant à douter de la pérennité d'une telle présentation. L'objet de cette recherche est de montrer que ces évolutions sont la conséquence de ladiversité fonctionnelle du régime d'autorisation. En effet, le régime d'autorisation n'est pas nécessairement un instrument de police. Il est également utilisé comme un moyen soit de répartir l'accès à une ressource rare, soit d'organiser l'exercice d'une activité d'intérêt général. Cette diversité fonctionnelle du régime d'autorisation donne naissance à des catégories d'autorisations, catégories qui, une fois ordonnées, forment une typologie. Cette approche plurielle permet de comprendre pourquoi les autorisations répondent à des régimes juridiquesdifférents<br>The authorisation scheme is traditionally presented as a policing system. From thisfunction of the authorisation scheme one can deduce the principal characteristics of the authorisation, unilateral police decision, precarious and untransferable. However, each of these characteristics is refuted by certain developments of substantive law, particularly by the phenomenon of patrimonialisation which affects an increasing number of authorisations. Until now, these developments have only been understood as exceptions to well-established principles. However, the scope of these developments casts doubt on the durability of such a way of seeing.The objective of this research is to show that these developments are the consequence of the functional diversity of the authorisation scheme. The authorisation scheme is not necessarily a policing system. It is also used as a means to allocate resources or to organise an activity of general interest. The functional diversity of the authorisation scheme gives rise to several categories of authorisations, categories that once organised form a typology. This pluralapproach makes it possible to understand why the authorisations operate under different legal frameworks

Full textAbstract:
La régularisation est une technique ancienne du droit administratif français. D’abord cantonnée à une pratique administrative limitée, relative seulement aux situations de fait découlant de l’exécution des actes unilatéraux, elle a connu un développement considérable au cours des deux dernières décennies, en jurisprudence et en législation. Les techniques de consolidation par correction des vices concernent aujourd’hui des actes, des normes et des situations divers et nombreux. La sécurité juridique, principe cardinal du droit contemporain, est l’instigatrice de cette évolution en ce qu’elle exige que les normes et les situations ne soient pas fragilisées pour des irrégularités dont la commission résulte souvent d’une complexification excessive du droit et auxquelles il est possible de remédier a posteriori. L’essor de la régularisation, et notamment son introduction dans le cours de l’instance en prévention des annulations juridictionnelles, concerne de multiples domaines de l’action administrative — polices de l’urbanisme et de l’environnement, passation des contrats, édification des ouvrages publics, subvention, recouvrement des créances, collecte de données personnelles. La régularisation n’a cependant pas encore fait l’objet d’une consécration générale et demeure un phénomène profondément hétérogène, adapté aux nécessités concrètes de l’action administrative. Dans un tel contexte, la présente étude consiste en une analyse comparée des règles auxquelles chaque technique correctrice est soumise dans le but d’identifier s’il existe — et s’il peut exister — un régime de juridique de la régularisation en droit administratif français<br>Regularisation is an former technique in French administrative law. At first confined as an administrative practice, which could only concern factual situations arising from the execution of public decisions, regularisation has known a considerable growth over the last two decades. The techniques by which decisions, norms and factual situations are getting rid of their defects are nowadays numerous and diverse. Legal certainty, which is one of the most fundamental principle of contemporary law orders, has caused this evolution. It implies indeed that norms and situations should not be removed when their irregularity is caused by the unreasonable intricacy of law and when it is possible to reform it. The expansion of regularisation techniques, especially during the trial, concerns multiple areas of administrative action –e.g. planning and environmental policies, public contract, public building, subsidy, debt collection, personal data. However, regularisation remains an heterogeneous phenomenon, adapted to the necessities of the public action. This study consists of a comparative analysis of the rules to which each regularisation technique is subjected. It aims to identify whether regularisation has a unique legal regime in French administrative law

Ocasionalmente, decisores se deparam com situações que demandarão a tomada de decisões estratégicas. Trata-se, com freqüência, de decisões que não foram vivenciadas anteriormente - seja no âmbito do organizacional, seja no âmbito pessoal dos decisores envolvidos - e, por isso, essas experiências anteriores podem ser de pouco valor ou podem ser transpostas apenas parcialmente ao novo contexto decisório. Nessas situações, surge um problema real a ser enfrentado pelos decisores e pouco explorado empiricamente pelos estudiosos dos processos decisórios: o problema de decidir como tomar uma decisão estratégica ou, como também conhecido no meio acadêmico, como tomar as metadecisões de um processo decisório. Para tratar desse problema, pesquisou-se a escassa literatura existente e, considerando estudos selecionados sobre processos decisórios, desenvolveu-se um modelo teórico representando os fatores que podem afetar dois tipos de metadecisões: a de processo e a de conteúdo. Em seguida, no contexto de uma organização pública e, no âmbito do desenvolvimento e produção de dois produtos para fins de diagnóstico e terapia, uma investigação foi conduzida envolvendo, no total, sete processos decisórios. Essa investigação objetivou testar o modelo teórico desenvolvido, verificar a existência de alguma associação lógica entre as diferentes metadecisões tomadas ao longo de um processo decisório e, a partir de análises dos resultados, identificar contribuições acadêmicas e práticas ao estado da arte sobre o tema. Como resultado desse esforço, o modelo do processo metadecisório foi revisado com a inclusão de novos fatores que podem influenciar as metadecisões e constatou-se que, ao longo de um processo decisório, parte das metadecisões tomadas podem apresentar uma associação lógica entre si. No conjunto, esses resultados permitiram a conclusão quanto à existência de uma estrutura lógica subjacente ao processo decisório maior do que a identificada por outros autores em estudos anteriores. Dezenove proposições relacionadas a metadecisões e uma metodologia para decidir como decidir integram as contribuições do estudo e abrem a perspectiva para outros estudos investigarem a aplicabilidade e generalidade do modelo desenvolvido e das proposições efetuadas para outros contextos organizacionais.<br>Occasionally, decision makers face situations where they need to make strategic decisions. Frequently, these decisions are new, and thus, previous experience is only partially helpful, if it is at all. In these situations, there is a real problem that needs to be addressed by the decision maker, which is the problem of deciding how to decide strategic decisions, or, in other words, how to make the metadecisions of a strategic decision. In order to deal with this theme, the scarce literature was reviewed and, along with selected topics about the decision making process, a theoretical model was developed to represent two types of metadecisions: process and content. The next step was the development of an empirical research in a public organization, involving the development and production of two products for diagnosis and therapy purposes. Seven decision processes were studied. The investigation was carried out in order to test the theoretical model, to verify the existence of any logical association among the different metadecisions taken within the decision process and, after the analysis of the results, to generate new contributions to the state of the art of this theme. The main results of this research are the revision and inclusion of new factors in the metadecision model and the identification that some of the metadecisions taken within a strategic decision process may present a logical association with one another. These findings indicated that the subjacent logical structure pointed out by other authors in previous studies can be extended. Nineteen propositions concerning metadecisions and a methodology to decide how to decide are additional contributions of this study. Taken altogether, this investigation opened the perspective of future studies to investigate the problem of deciding how to decide and extend the findings of the present study to other organizational environments.

Full textAbstract:
Unelected bureaucrats make a broad range of important policy decisions raising concerns of accountability in a democratic society. Many classics in the literature highlight the need to understand agency decisions at stages prior to the final vote by agency appointees, but few studies of the bureaucracy do so. To this point, scholars have treated the issue of shirking as one where laziness and inefficiency are the driving forces. However, it is more realistic to expect that shirking comes in the form of ideological resistance by administrators. I develop a theory that the independence afforded to the bureaucracy is functionally comparable to that of the judiciary, allowing for the insertion of individual attitudinal preferences by bureaucrats. Drawing from the attitudinal model of judicial research, I look at whether attitudes affect the decision making of administrative law judges at the National Labor Relations Board, the influence administrative law judge decisions have on reviewing bodies, and whether attitudinal decision making can be controlled by external political and legal actors. Results demonstrate that Democratic judges are more likely than Republican judges to rule for labor in unfair labor practice cases, administrative law judge decisions provide the basis for subsequent decisions of reviewing bodies, and that few political and legal controls exist over this set of bureaucrats. This research provides evidence that lower level bureaucrats make decisions based on their own political preferences and that these preferences have far ranging consequences for policy and law.

Характеристика административно-правового статуса государственных и частных исполнителей имеет важное значение для разработки предложений по усовершенствованию такого статуса и вопросам правового регулирования деятельного приватных и государственных исполнителей. Научное исследование проблем административно-правового статуса государственных и частных исполнителей должно положительно влиять на дальнейшее усовершенствование практики реализации действующих административно-правовых, хозяйственно-правовых и гражданско-правовых норм в этой сфере.<br>The relevance of the research topic is due to the fact that one of the important steps towards modernizing enforcement agencies was the use of the institute of a private executor, which is actually due not only to the emergence in Ukraine of the new legal profession, but also to introduce a new enforcement system.
Characteristics of the administrative and legal status of public and private performers are important for developing proposals for improving such status and issues of legal regulation of active private and public performers. The scientific study of the problems of the administrative and legal status of public and private executors should positively influence the further improvement of the practice of implementing the existing administrative legal, economic and civil law norms in this area.

Full textAbstract:
Par une étude d’ensemble de la jurisprudence, de la législation et de la doctrine, cette thèse a pour objet de proposer une définition renouvelée de la notion de décision créatrice de droits tout en procédant à l’analyse critique du régime juridique applicable à cette catégorie d’actes administratifs.Le travail de définition a été mené sous un angle à la fois fonctionnel, tenant au régime de sortie de vigueur, et conceptuel, tenant aux effets des décisions créatrices de droits. Du point de vue de la fonction, il est apparu que le périmètre de la notion étudiée était plus large que celui traditionnellement retenu. La catégorie des décisions créatrices de droits regroupe ainsi l’ensemble des décisions administratives individuelles dont le retrait ou l’abrogation ne sauraient être décidés de manière discrétionnaire par l’administration. Elle s'oppose ainsi à la catégorie des actes non créateurs de droits dont l'abrogation peut intervenir pour tout motif. Du point de vue des effets, les décisions créatrices de droits ont de surcroît pour caractéristique d’être, en principe, la source de droits publics subjectifs et d’obligations administratives. La mise en place d’un régime de sortie de vigueur protecteur est ainsi corrélée avec la possible identification d’un droit au sens conceptuel du terme. Cette nouvelle conception des décisions créatrices de droits ouvre la voie à une analyse renouvelée des règles qui gouvernent leur adoption, leur exécution et leur révocation. Une attention particulière est ainsi portée sur les garanties qui permettent au bénéficiaire de la décision de jouir paisiblement des droits subjectifs et avantages dont il est titulaire, ainsi que sur les mécanismes anciens ou contemporains qui encadrent l’exécution par l’administration de ses obligations<br>Through a comprehensive study of the case law, legislation and legal literature, this thesis seeks to propose a renewed definition of the notion of decisions creating rights. In doing so, it critically analyses the legal regime applicable to this category of administrative acts. The definitional work has been carried out from both a functional perspective, relating to the revocation regime, and a conceptual perspective, relating to the effects of decisions creating rights. From a functional point of view, it appeared that the scope of the concept under study was broader than the one that is traditionally used. The category of decisions creating rights thus includes the entirety of individual administrative decisions whose withdrawal or repeal cannot be decided on a discretionary basis by the administration. As regards the effects of decisions creating rights, their main characteristic is that they are, in principle, the source of subjective public rights and administrative obligations. The establishment of a protective revocation regime is thus correlated with the potential identification of a right in a conceptual sense. This new conception of decisions creating rights opens the way to a renewed analysis of the rules governing their adoption, enforcement and revocation. Particular attention is thus paid to the guarantees which allow the beneficiary of the decision to peacefully enjoy the subjective rights and advantages of which he or she is the holder. Furthermore, emphasis is also placed on the various mechanisms which govern the execution of the administration’s obligations

This dissertation explores and examines various foundations for thinking about organizational systems, i.e., organizational epistemics. There are several ways to examine "systems" and several levels at which criteria apply to systems. First, the study establishes the minimum demands on "systems" and formulates what is essentially a system for systems or an organizational system for selecting organizations' designs. By adopting a generic model, one that stipulates minimum requirements for assessing organizational designs, each administrative organization is evaluated in terms of the theoretical justification used to ensure an effective and efficient organizational structure. The future effectiveness of organizational designs is contingent on changes in society, in education, and in the private sector, e.g., responses to social, economic, and cultural exigencies. This dissertation explores possibilities for the future as organizations respond to new and unusual variables. The format suggested in this study may well provide a glimpse of what the future holds for organizational designs in the world of tomorrow.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche s'inscrit dans le champ de la sociologie des organisations, mais utilise les resultats de la psychologie cognitive pour construire un modele particulier de la rationalite de l'acteur, appele rationalite cognitive. La psychologie cognitive, ou psychologie du traitement des informations, nous apprend en effet que l'individu utilise dans son raisonnement des processus cognitifs, logiques du point de vue de ses connaissances, mais objectivement faux. L'application du modele cognitif de la rationalite montre que les differents acteurs du controle fiscal construisent et negocient la decision administrative selon une logique structuree par leurs "partis pris" cognitifs. La necessite de trouver des redressements, imposee par l'organisation, deforme le jugement des agents charges de controle fiscal; l'interet "concret" d'eviter l'impot devie la reflexion du "contribuable-citoyen" sur la fonction de l'impot et le role du fisc. La decision administrative depend donc de principes cognitifs qui sont analyses ici<br>This thesis is a contribution to the theme of the sociology of organizations. However it takes into account the results of cognitive psychology in order to create a specific pattern of the rationality of the actor called cognitive rationality. In fact, cognitive psychology, also called the psychology of the handling of information teaches us that an individual thinks in terms of cognitive processes which may appear logical in view of his store of knowledge, but which are objectively incorrect. Putting into practice the pattern of cognitive rationality demonstrates that the various actors of the fiscal control create and negotiate the administrative decisions according to a logical structure shaped by their own cognitive prejudices. The necessity of finding actors subject to payments in arrears enforced by the organization distorts the judgment of the taxinspectors; the "concrete" advantage to avoid tax-paying interferes with the judgment of the tax-paying citizen concerning the function of taxation and the role of the treasury. Consequently, the administrative decision depends on some of the cognitive principles which are treated in this thesis

A case study is used to illustrate and assess the applicability of participatory democracy theory to public participation in public land decision-making. In this case, public outcry against a Bureau of Land Management acquisition plan resulted in adoption of a coordinated resource management process, an application of participatory democracy theory which is purported to improve public acceptance of administrative decisions by providing improved access and representation, information exchange and learning, continuity of participation, and shared decision-making authority. The study suggests that in order to satisfy the public, a participatory democracy approach to public participation should give participants tangible evidence that their input will influence agency decisions, preferably by giving them the authority to collectively make decisions that will be binding on all participants, including agencies. Furthermore, organizational and decision-making rules, as well as legal and bureaucratic limitations on the process, must be explicit.

Full textAbstract:
La loi du 12 novembre 2013 consacre le principe du « silence vaut accord » dans la relation entre l’administration et l’administré. L’inversion du sens attribué du silence de l’administration sollicitée par une demande met un terme au principe historique du « silence vaut rejet », en vigueur depuis plus de cent ans. Cette révolution est présentée par le Gouvernement comme un moyen de simplifier la relation entre l’administration et l’administré et comme l’instrument d’une lutte contre l’inertie administrative. Elle suscite pourtant une certaine suspicion de la part de la doctrine. Sa portée, son utilité et sa pertinence sont contestées. L’identification des situations dans lesquelles le nouveau principe est applicable confirme partiellement cette critique. En effet, les exclusions à la règle du « silence vaut accord » sont légion. En dépit de sa consécration législative, la décision implicite d’acception demeure circonscrite à des domaines spécifiques. Il est alors plus juste de considérer que le « silence vaut accord » n’est qu’un principe « fermé » ou, plus radicalement, d’admettre l’existence de deux interprétations concurrentes du sens du silence administratif. Par ailleurs, la mise en œuvre du mécanisme apparaît très largement tributaire d’un comportement actif de l’administration. Le régime juridique de la décision implicite d’acceptation, oscillant entre le régime général de la décision administrative et la proclamation de règles spécifiques, semble partiellement inadapté. Si le bilan des effets de la réforme de 2013 est en demi-teinte, le mécanisme de la décision implicite d’acceptation n’est pas à condamner. Il demeure l’un des leviers essentiels d’une réforme d’ampleur de l’action administrative<br>The Law of 12 November 2013 enshrines the principle that "silence equals consent" in the French administration. Until then, the opposite was the rule: for more than a century, the silence of an administrative unit when solicited has meant dismissal of the request. This revolutionary principle has been presented by the Government as an efficient mean to streamline the relationship between the administration and its constituents and fight administrative inertia. The doctrinal opinion, however, has been quite suspicious about it. The critics focused on its scope, efficiency and relevancy. The determination of when this new principle is applicable fits partially into the critic, as there are numerous exceptions to the rule "silence equals consent". Despite its consecration as Law, the principle of implicit acceptance remains limited to specific matters. Then we should rather regard it as a partial principle, or even embrace the idea of two rival interpretations of the silence of the administration. Finally, the implementation of that principle relies strongly on how proactive the administration is. The legal regime of implicit acceptance is stuck between the general scheme of administrative decision and more specific rules, which makes it partially ill-adapted. The 2013 reform therefore shows mixed results, but the mechanism of implicit acceptance is still a step forward. It is a crucial lever to a wide-range reform of the administrative action

Full textAbstract:
Some form of administrative review of executive action is accepted in the common law world for the reason that it serves certain basic values and goals. This study draws on political, legal and management theory in considering the values that underlie administrative review. It is primarily concerned with the role of tribunal review. A full range of values are considered, including fairness, justice, consistency, rationality, dignity, respect, accessibility, equity, efficiency and economy. Some are seen as fundamental to the administrative review system while others have different purposes. There is general agreement on many of the values and goals of administrative review. In their practical application however, values compete, overlap and evolve in accordance with economic, social, political and legal change. There are value tensions in, for instance, the role of independent tribunals as a check on the power of the executive while they are also within the executive, in the extent of the obligation on administrative tribunals to apply government policy and in the setting of proper limits of judicial review. There is continuing tension in demands for individual dignity and rights to fair treatment on the one hand and notions of the 'public interest' on the other. This thesis argues that the provision of tribunal review of administrative decisions is increasingly ideologically driven and focussed on 'functional' or 'management' values. At times these have trumped other values in decisions about entitlements to procedural fairness, access to review, effectiveness in public administration and the achievement of the 'correct and preferable' decision in the instant case. The focus of this thesis is a case study of migration decision-making. The importance of this area of study is evident in the potentially devastating consequences that migration decisions can have for individuals and families. In the context of Australia's history of inadequate and racially based migration policies, independent administrative review provides security against arbitrariness and discrimination in decision-making. An analysis of administrative review of decisions made under the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) by the Migration Review Tribunal, and its predecessor the Immigration Review Tribunal, illustrates the claim that values, in their application, have real, practical and local importance. Issues of tribunal independence and accountability, the normative goal of review and procedural justice are considered in depth. It is argued that where compromises are made in administrative review, underlying values should be revealed so that their practical consequences may be better understood. The need to articulate and analyze these issues has never been greater. The Australian administrative review system is in a period of change analogous to that of the introduction of the 'new' administrative law in the 1970s. If tribunals are to continue to play an effective role then it is important to think clearly about how they can, in practice, embody the right mix of administrative law values.
