The administrative law regime means a typical legal construction, which expresses the way of connecting an administrative law norm with this norm anticipated administrative law relationship through a certain legally significant fact. From the point of view of public administration addressees, it is appropriate to differ regimes of granting rights and regimes of imposing obligations primarily. Many regimes have a superstructure (secondary) nature, they assume the earlier existence of other (primary) rights and obligations. In addition to unilateral regimes, there are also bilateral or multilateral regimes of administrative law, which are an expression of cooperation in connection with the performance of public administration. From the point of view of public administration bodies, it is possible to distinguish several (administrative) regimes of exercise of their competence (powers). A kind of complement is the regimes that determine the boundaries of administrative regulation (between public law and civil law; between national law and European law). The application of some regimes or their combination typically results in the general administrative law concepts (= the tangles of administrative law norms cemented by the need and effort to solve certain idealized situations, deprived of their specific content). The research of administrative law regimes may perhaps contribute to a more plastic and systematic doctrinal characterization of material administrative law. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Constitutional and administrative law are two related branches of law. But are the boundaries separating constitutional and administrative law truly clear? Many excellent experts in public law have already answered this question. However, as the legal system evolves, the answer to this question can be neither complete nor definitive. Nevertheless, it is possible to mark a number of bright and dark sides of the normative duality of constitutional and administrative law. Attention is focused on the constitutionalization of administrative law, but no less important is the deconstitutionalization of public administration in conditions of over-regulation connected with fragmentary and inconsistent legislation. However, it is not just a question of the integrity of the legal order. There are also a number of practical problems in the sphere of disputes resolution using dual argumentation.

The paper compares two books: the celebrated General Administrative Law by Merkl and the half-forgotten General Concepts of Administrative Law by Pošvář. Their authors espouse normativism: As for Merkl, its Viennese branch; and Pošvář, the Brno branch. They do so undogmatically. Both works are up to a high standard, although Merkl's work has the character of a monograph and that of Pošvář is propaedeutic. Differences between them largely lie in their scope, thoroughness of treatment and circumstances in which they were written. Some differences of opinion are also noticeable. What matters is that these books can be used as a source of information and inspiration although the world and administrative studies have since covered a great distance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
