Effects and potential effects of administrative regulations in the enforcement of standards
The concept of „good administration“ also evaluates the connection between lawmaking and the enforcement of said laws. Hence the role of “sub-legal rules” like regulations (Rechtsverordnungen), statutes (Satzungen) and nonlegislative rules (Verwaltungsvorschriften), their creation, use and effects come into focus here. Firstly, in the context of the making and application of law the vital role of interagency nonlegislative rules for the implementation of laws in federal multilevel governance is scrutinized. Secondly, we will evaluate the quality of sub-legal rules as an expression of delegated rulemaking, especially of regulations, under the lens of the new institutional economics and by way of the principal-agent-theory.
Doctoral project
The aim of the doctoral project is therefore to develop a sufficient empirical basis and embed it in the ‘good administration’ approach.
