La innovación es clave para la competitividad y el crecimiento económico de los países, tanto en los niveles micro como macro. Se trata de un complejo concepto, que puede referirse tanto a iniciativas sociales, a la denominada economía colaborativa o a nuevas tecnologías,para tomar nuevas ideas y traducirlas en resultados sociales o económicos que mejoren el bienestar de los consumidores.

Both acts are good examples of legal innovations regarding land use and housing at the beginning of the 21st Century. The first one established an enforceable right to housing in France for the first time in French history. The second one is the first act regarding the right to housing in Catalan history; it connected land use and housing, establishing inclusionary zoning techniques and promoting social mix.

Research paper thumbnail of Good Administration and Administrative Procedures

Indiana Journal of Global Legal Studies, 2005

I agree with this statement but must add a nuance: good administration means good administrative procedures and good reasons to back the final decision, as we will see shortly. 8. Recommendation of the Comm. of Ministers No. R (80) 2 Concerning the Exercise of Discretionary Powers by Administrative Authorities, 316th Mtg. (1980) (adopted by the Committee of Ministers on March 11, 1980 at the 316th meeting of the Ministers' deputies) [hereinafter Recommendation of the Comm. ofMinisters]. JULI PONCE The core of discretion, that is, the choice between alternatives, is something odd in traditional administrative law, which does not deal with it, except for delimiting boundaries for discretion that cannot be crossed. The choice itself is considered a matter of politics, not a legal issue. In the traditional paradigm, administrative law provides, above all, a defense for individuals, a shield against arbitrary decisions. From that point of view, where statute ends, tyranny begins-and the only effective protection against tyranny is judicial review. Therefore, traditional administrative law is not especially interested in good administrative decisions but in the judicial review of illegal decisions, to protect citizens against public arbitrariness. This is a negative approach in the sense that it is an approach against arbitrariness that does not favor good administration, and it is possible to link this point of view with Harlow and Rawling's metaphor of red-light theorists. 9 This approach has been common in Spain for a long time, as well as in other European countries, as detailed by Cassese's explanation of the principle of legality as a "fetish."'" But a new viewpoint is growing all around Europe. This new approach is concerned with the quality of decisions, a relatively new paradigm for us, but well established in the United States. The discretionary choice itself is relevant for administrative law, because it is concerned with good decisions and with good administration. It is important that public administration makes both legal and correct decisions, with proper reasoning to back them. This is important because people demand that such good decisions be made and they want to participate in decisions that affect them most, such as where a highway should be constructed or where a nuclear plant should be built. As Braibant has graphically pointed out, "Even when public authorities are allowed to do what they want, they cannot do whatever."" That is, the proper use of discretionary powers matters to public law. And the proper use of discretionary power is defined by the idea of good administration. This concept cannot be a pass par tout, but has to have its own meaning as a legal technique.

Description In order to prevent corruption and promote good government and public integrity, new ... more Description In order to prevent corruption and promote good government and public integrity, new mechanisms have been put into force in the last decade to face the limitations and the inefficiency of the reactive approach to corruption and maladministration. Administrative law plays an important role in preventing corruption by regulating institutions to encourage good governance and good administration, improve transparency, promote ethical values among public officials, prevent conflicts of interest and avoid their transformation into corruption. In this book, renowned experts from several countries analyse the regulation of transparency, public ethics, conflict of interest prevention, lobby activity, political financing, good government, good administration and accountability in present times. From a general point of view, it is also examined the role of regulation and mechanisms to improve its quality to prevent corruption. The book highlights the possibilities and the limits of Administrative law to improve the fight against corruption and to promote good government and public integrity and it explores the role of transdisciplinarity in the regulation of tools to prevent and fight against corruption. Sommaire Authors Presentation Table of contents Chapter 1. Public transparency as a tool to prevent corruption in public administration Chapter 2. The Right to Good Administration and the role of Administrative Law in promoting good government Chapter 3. Understanding and preventing corruption: a regulatory approach Chapter 4. A behavioural approach to administrative corruption prevention Chapter 5. Better regulation to prevent corruption: The Corruption Impact Assessment (CIA) Chapter 6. Risk-based approaches towards corruption prevention Chapter 7. Corruption and Conflict of Interest: Some Comparative Comments Chapter 8. Lobby Regulation To Prevent Corruption Chapter 9. Public Ethics and the Prevention of Corruption Chapter 10. Plutocracy and Partyocracy: The Corruption of Liberal and Social Democracies Chapter 11.

Research paper thumbnail of The Multi-Level Prevention and Control of Catastrophic Wildfires in Mediterranean Europe: The European Union, Spain, and Catalonia

Special Issue Cassandra’s Curse: The Law and Foreseeable Future Disasters, 2015

The law of catastrophic wildfire prevention and response in the Mediterranean member states of th... more The law of catastrophic wildfire prevention and response in the Mediterranean member states of the European Union stands in stark contrast to that of common law nation states such as Australia and the United States. This is due primarily to the higher levels of reciprocal moral and legal obligations between governments and citizens established in various sources of European law. Focusing on the relationship between the EU, Spain, and the Autonomous Community of Catalonia within Spain, this chapter describes these three legal frameworks as they are nested within each other, followed by some case law examples of these laws in action. We compare and contrast the philosophical assumptions underlying the utilitarian cost-benefit approach to regulatory justification used in the United States with the precautionary principle model emblematic of the European Union, the member state of Spain, and its Autonomous Community of Catalonia. Regardless of approach, protection of the public health, safety, and welfare will only be as robust and effective as the government agencies that have that responsibility, and the degree of cooperation with those agencies of the citizens they serve.

En cambio, el Tribunal Constitucional y el legislador no han desarrollado hasta ahora ni una doctrina ni una legislación que permita la efectividad máxima del derecho, si bien en el caso legislativo recientes desarrollos normativos en algunas comunidades autónomas están implantando obligaciones de resultado exigibles judicialmente como ya han hecho otros países europeos. Sin embargo, las mismas chocan con el dogma arraigado de la libertad absoluta del legislador presupuestario, que este análisis discute.

Hace diez años se aprobó la Ley del derecho a la vivienda de Catalunya. Con un contenido innovador e integral, trataba de equipararse a las leyes europeas más avanzadas. Una década después, es momento de realizar un balance mirando al futuro.
CARACTERÍSTICAS
El análisis riguroso de una de las leyes más avanzadas en materia de vivienda de todo el Estado, es esencial para tratar de dar respuestas a una de las necesidades sociales más sentidas, el acceso a una vivienda digna y adecuada. Más si cabe, conociendo el incumplimiento de los mandatos internacionales, constitucionales y estatutarios para garantizar este derecho.
NOVEDADES
- Se trata de la primera edición de la obra.
- Primera evaluación una década después del nacimiento de la Ley.
- Temas incluidos sobre los cuales no existe bibliografía publicada. Autoría colectiva (16 autores y autoras) coordinadas por entes de referencia en la materia (Observatori DESC e Instituto de investigación TransJus de la Universidad de Barcelona).
