Acto administrativo y derecho global: aspectos problemáticos

Abstract

The theory of global administrative law has not yet been examined in detail in one of its aspects, that of the doctrine of the administrative act. This shortcoming may be striking, bearing in mind that, in the sister discipline of transnational public law, there is a profuse and elaborate theory of the transnational administrative act. Throughout this work we aim to propose a model to explain this relationship. We take two points of view into consideration. In the first one, through a bottom-up analysis, we will criticize the possibility of extrapolating the theory of the administrativeact to the global legal sphere. In the second, we will examine the effects of global administrative law on the content of the national administrative act. From both perspectives we converge on a single conclusion: the contributions of the administrative act on the dogma of global administrative law are actually quite limited.
