Verwaltung zwischen Gestaltung, Transparenz und Kontrolle

The present volume combines contributions to the symposium on the occasion of Ulrich Ramsauer’s 70th birthday, acknowledging his activity in the fields of public law, especially environmental law and planning regulations, administrative procedural law and public administration, which has lasted more than 40 years. The contributions deal with key issues in the current discussion in administrative law: accelerated proceedings (Peter Wysk), public participation (Hans-Joachim Koch) and Europeanisation (Jörg Berkemann). In his introduction, Ivo Appel presents a short introduction to the concept of administrative legal science as a managing science. The contribution by Jochen Wagner offers an overarching thematic connection from a philosophical perspective, titled “Integration through friendship”. At the same time, he considers integration as one of the essential responsibilities of the state today.
