During this discussion, which is part of the European Administrative Dialogues, organised by Maastricht University, Eduardo Chiti will present his paper titled ‘Against Administrative Law - Reasons, Arguments and Implications of a US Debate’ in a conversation with Professor Susan Rose-Ackerman and Professor Thomas Perroud. In the last decade, different strands of anti-administrative approaches have emerged, oriented to disable the administrative state and pointing to the dangers accompanying the expansion and renewal of administrative law. They argue that administrative law is unconstitutional and illiberal. This Dialogue aims to reflect on the reasons explaining the emergence of such legal scholarship, its basic assumptions, ideology and possible impact on traditional administrative law thinking. It also asks whether anti-administrative thinking may indirectly help to clarify the normative foundations of administrative law and the multiple functions that it serves in contemporary polities.
