Abstract: The idea of developing administrative legal structures at a global level is a prominent conceptual invention in current public law thinking. The theoretical approach to global administrative law aims at the elaboration of interrelationships between administrative entities on a world scale, the identification and analysis of decision-making processes and law-creating mechanisms in the divergent systems of legal sources, be they international or domestic, and their scrutiny according to the different tasks which can be ascribed to an administrative system. At the heart of the concept is the legally sound accomplishment of different policy tasks at global level by mechanisms that can be construed more or less analogously to those mechanisms that are pertinent in domestic administrative (legal) systems2. Sabino Cassese, one of the most influential proponents of the idea of global administrative law, goes so far even as to draw a parallel between the current debate and the emergence of administrative law as a domestic legal concept by authors such as Edouard de Laferrière and Otto Mayer. At the same time, the related concept of international administrative law sees an impressive renaissance in recent legal scholarship.
