Transformations of administrative law. Italy from a comparative perspective

Italian administrative law has experienced numerous transformations over time. This chapter analyzes these changes from a comparative and historical perspective, showing analogies and differences relative to other countries both as to the foundations and the development of administrative law. Several topics will be examined, including the balance between public authority and private rights; the relationship between administrative law and private law; the scope and intensity of judicial review; the role of administrative procedures; and the influence of EU and global law.
