Procédure administrative

Depuis la première édition parue en 2000, la révision totale de l'organisation judiciaire fédérale, entrée en vigueur le 1er janvier 2007, a instauré de nouvelles voies de recours et règles de procédure tant au niveau du Tribunal fédéral qu'à celui des autorités administratives fédérales de recours par la création du Tribunal administratif fédéral et une révision complète de la loi fédérale sur la procédure administrative (PA). En 15 ans, la jurisprudence fondée sur la Constitution, la CEDH et les lois de procédure a été très abondante. Les lois cantonales ont été modifiées; le canton de Vaud s'est doté d'une loi complète de procédure administrative en 2008. L'objectif est de mettre en parallèle la procédure administrative fédérale et celles des cantons romands et Berne, en comparant les dispositions et en mettant en évidence leurs divergences. Facilitant l'accès à la jurisprudence topique et casuistique, cette approche par étapes de la procédure administrative non contentieuse, puis contentieuse, en passant par la décision administrative, est destinée aux praticiens, étudiants, administrés et membres de l'administration dans les nombreux domaines de l'activité de celle-ci vu la vaste portée de la procédure administrative.

Policy learning in Europe : social policy and labour market reforms in 11 countries

This report compares policy learning processes in 11 European countries. Based on the country reports that were produced by the national teams of the INSPIRES project, this paper develops an argument that connects problem pressure and politicization to learning in different labor market innovations. In short, we argue that learning efforts are most likely to impact on policy change if there is a certain problem pressure that clearly necessitates political action. On the other hand, if problem pressure is very low, or so high that governments need to react immediately, chances are low that learning impacts on policy change. The second part of our argument contends that learning impacts on policy change especially if a problem is not very politicized, i.e. there are no main conflicts concerning a reform, because then, solutions are wound up in the search for a compromise. Our results confirm our first hypothesis regarding the connection between problem pressure and policy learning. Governments learn indeed up to a certain degree of problem pressure. However, once political action becomes really urgent, i.e. in anti-crisis policies, there is no time and room for learning. On the other hand, learning occurred independently from the politicization of problem. In fact, in countries that have a consensual political system, learning occurred before the decision on a reform, whereas in majoritarian systems, learning happened after the adoption of a policy during the process of implementation.

Transparency and trust in government (2007-2014): a comparative study

In a 2000 report entitled "Trust in government. Ethics measures in OECD countries," OECD Secretary-General Donald J. Johnston emphasized the fact that public ethics are considered as a keystone of good governance. Moreover, public ethics are a prerequisite to public trust, which is in turn vital not only to any public service, but also to any society in general. At the same time, transparency reforms have flourished over the last few years and have several times been designed as a response to public distrust. Therefore, ethics, transparency and trust are closely linked together in a supposed virtuous circle where transparency works as a factor of better public ethics and leads to more trust in government on the citizens' side. This article explores the links between transparency and levels of trust in 10 countries between 2007 and 2014, using open data indexes and access to information requests as proxies for transparency. A national ranking of transparency, based on requests submitted by citizens to the administration and open data indexes, is then proposed. Key findings show that there is no sharp decline of trust in government in all countries considered in this article, and that transparency and trust in government are not systematically positively associated. Therefore, this article challenges the common assumption, mostly found in the normative literature, about a positive interrelation between the two, where trust in government is conceived as a beneficial effect of administrative transparency.
