Features: Since its first publication in three volumes in 1956, this book has been dedicated to revealing the foundations and principles of administrative law from various aspects of administrative practice. Therefore, it is not only suitable for study and research but also for practice in administration, law, and the judiciary. Currently, translations into Chinese and Portuguese are underway, which will contribute to comparative research in administrative law.
Volume I of this book studies the foundations of administration, administrative law, and administrative science. Volume II examines administrative activities, administrative procedures, state compensation, and public property. Volume III focuses on administrative organization law and administrative supervision law. Volume I has been comprehensively revised and published in 1999. Here, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the assistants, whose hard work and tireless efforts made the timely publication of this book possible.
First and foremost, we thank our secretary, Merle Rossdeutscher, for her great patience in typing the manuscript and proofreading it. Our academic collaborator, Bernhard Kittler, undertook the demanding and time-consuming editorial work, participating in the entire process as much as possible, particularly in the tedious proofreading of abbreviations and current regulations. Academic collaborator Wei?e Gerking provided significant support with his timely and excellent editorial work, responsible for revising the index, adding internet addresses, and changing the coding. In the area of "Electronic Data Processing and Administration," we are grateful to our academic collaborator, Stefan Bals, who also provided material from the perspective of "Modern Control Models." Academic collaborator Gerrit Brauser—Jung is responsible for rearranging the literature at the beginning of each chapter and participating in the proofreading of some abbreviations. Teaching assistant Dr. Martin Müller provided material on Dutch administrative law, reviewed the literature, and proofread sections 2 to 4 of paragraph 33. Student assistant Tobias Ernst and Inga Mohrdieck collaborated in compiling the index, conducting internet searches for regulations, and proofreading regulations, especially in the copying of materials. All academic collaborators participated in the writing and proofreading of the manuscript and contributed to this book.
Professor Gonzalez—Varas Ibanez, Dr. de Meirelles Pereira, Dr. Won Woo Lee, and Panagiotis Spiliakos reviewed the literature of paragraph 16. Lastly, we thank my somewhat distant wife and Burkhard Schulz of Beck Publishing House. He enthusiastically and patiently participated in the publication process of this book and provided all possible assistance. The publisher and the author sincerely look forward to and appreciate the readers' criticisms and corrections.
