Regulierung von Wirtschaft und Medien

On the basis of former publications, Martin Bullinger analyzes the development of economic and media administration and predicts their future evolution. After a rigid application of the law after 1945, economic administration has partially become a more flexible type of administrative management, which for example takes the time requirements of industry into account. Public service entities are being replaced by supervisory agencies which have to enforce new regulations which provide legal objectives but do not establish how to pursue these. Electronic media administration on the other hand is being confronted with many new frequencies which make it necessary to take administrative action against monopolizing economic powers who could limit the diversity of services offered. The recent legal decisions made by the Federal Constitutional Court are leading in this direction.
