Revitalisierung der Demokratie durch transparente Verwaltungsverfahren

The work aims to show ways in which citizen participation and transparent procedures can help procedures to pacify conflicts, avoid lengthy judicial processes, and speed them up. The author reviews whether there is a link between protests and transparent administrative procedures. In doing so, she asks whether the introduction of direct-democratic elements into the Basic Law might be appropriate and makes concrete proposals for amending the Basic Law and the Administrative Procedure Act. The work is aimed at scholars as well as practitioners and provides valuable suggestions for the further development of administrative and procedural law.
