The Development of the Administrative Court Systems in Transition Countries and Their Role in Democratic, Economic and Societal Transition

Mateja Held ; Faculty of Law, University of Zagreb

Abstract

The paper analyses the origins of judicial control of administration and the development of the administrative court system in European transition countries which have undergone three phases – the formation of democratic institutions and establishment of administrative courts, the reform phase under the influence of the Europeanisation process on administrative courts’development, and the evaluation phase. After the formation of the administrative court system, transition countries that formed specialised administrative courts in the second half of the 20th century were under the process of Europeanisation, while in countries which formed their specialised administrative courts later, this development is observed with some delay. The analysis aims to discover the connection between the development of administrative court systems and their role in
democratic, economic and societal transition.
