The Process of Promulgating Regulations
(Rulemaking)
The initiative behind promulgation of a new regulation or a
change in a regulation can originate from many sources,
including
– legislation that delegates authority
– Parliamentary hearings and reports
– court orders
– Executive Orders and Office of Management and
Budget Circulars
– agency acting on its own initiative
– emergency situations, technological developments, etc.
– political pressures
– Federal Advisory Committee recommendations
– petitions and informal requests from affected parties
ADMIN LAW IN CIVIL LAW
Unlike most Common-law jurisdictions, the majority of civil law
jurisdictions have specialized courts or sections to deal with administrative
cases which, as a rule, will apply procedural rules specifically designed for
such cases and different from that applied in private-law proceedings, such
as contract or tort claims.
In France, most claims against the national or local governments are
handled by administrative courts, which use the Conseil d'État (Council of
State) as a court of last resort. The main administrative courts are the
"Tribunaux Administratifs" and appeal courts are the "Cours
Administratives d'Appel".
Administrative law in Germany
called“Verwaltungsrecht”de:Verwaltungsrecht (Deutschland), generally
rules the relationship between authorities and the citizens and therefore, it
establishes citizens’ rights and obligations against the authorities.
GLOBAL ADMIN LAW
Global administrative law is an emerging field that is based upon a dual insight:
That much of what is usually termed “global governance” can be accurately
characterized as administrative action;
and that increasingly such action is itself being regulated by administrative law-type
principles, rules and mechanisms – in particular those relating to participation,
transparency, accountability and review.
GAL, then, refers to the structures, procedures and normative standards for
regulatory decision-making including transparency, participation, and review, and
the rule-governed mechanisms for implementing these standards, that are applicable
to formal intergovernmental regulatory bodies;
The focus of this field is not the specific content of substantive rules, but rather the
operation of existing or possible principles, procedural rules and reviewing and other
mechanisms relating to accountability, transparency, participation, and assurance of
legality in global governance
