Verwaltungsrechtsdogmatik im Wandel

The question of the extent to which the science of administrative law is able to absorb changes in society without losing its own scientific identity is more relevant than ever. Rainer Schröder deals with this question in the three chapters of his book. In the first part, he studies the origins of the science of administrative law in the second half of the 19th century and its early development up to its standstill in the Third Reich. In the second part, he examines its development under the German Basic Law. In the third and final chapters, he takes up the latest call for fundamental reforms and integrates them into an approach whose purpose is to maintain classic scientific distinctions.
