Actividad administrativa, actividad de gobierno y poder discrecional


Book Description

"La actividad administrativa es una realización de la Administración Pública, lo que exige precisar qué debemos entender por tal concepto, sin duda, de sentido al menos ambivalente. En efecto, la noción de Administración Pública puede referirse tanto a un conjunto de órganos como a una actividad estatal en sí misma; por lo que a los efectos de definir la actividad administrativa debemos, por supuesto, optar por el concepto orgánico, y entender por Administración Pública como un conjunto de órganos de las personas jurídicas estatales, es decir, de los sujetos de derecho que actualizan la voluntad del Estado. El principio general de que la competencia de todos los órganos del Estado para la realización de sus actividades, tiene que derivar de texto constitucional o legal expreso; en lo que se refiere a la actividad administrativa, la misma básicamente puede y está básicamente en la ley, pues dicha actividad siempre es de carácter sublegal. La actividad administrativa al ser de carácter sublegal está por sobre todo sometida al derecho y controlable jurisdiccionalmente. En efecto, conforme al sistema establecido en la Constitución todos los actos estatales están sometidos al derecho y todos son controlables jurisdiccionalmente por razones de constitucionalidad o de legalidad. Aquí está la esencia del principio de la legalidad y del Estado de Derecho". Allan R. Brewer-Carías.




Glosario Del Banco Mundial


Book Description

This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Reasonableness and interpretation


Book Description

The 2002 issue of the Yearbook concerns the notion of reasonableness in philosohical, legal and economic domains. After going back over the main definition of the concept of reasonable in greek philosophy, the analysis carried out in this volume deals with the role played by the notion of reasonableness in practical philosophy and namely according to hermeneutical view of it. With regard to legal field, the notion of reasonableness is a core notion in constitutional law and it assumes specific meanings in private, criminal, international, and administrative law. Reasonableness turns out to be crucial with regard to many topics, such as interpretation of rights, balancing of fundamental rights, and interpretation of standards.
