The Administrative Control of Aliens. A Study in Administrative Law and Procedure.William C. Van Vleck

AbstractThis paper uses the example of the control of medicinal liquor during prohibition in Alberta to explore how the methods of control altered during the eight years of prohibition. This paper argues that the system used to control medicinal liquor changed from a prosecutorial system to a regulatory system. This shift from prosecution to regulation was essential in ensuring that medicinal liquor was actually controlled and allowed medicinal liquor to become an alternative as well as an exception to prohibition. This paper focuses on explaining the success of administrative control rather than the courts' attempts to control administrative action and thus examines administrative law and practice from the ground up. Consequently, this paper uses a broad definition of administrative law which includes the regulations, policies and practices created and used by the provincial state in its attempt to control medicinal liquor.

And Control

This chapter focuses on the concept, architecture, and control of presidential regimes from the perspective of comparative administrative law, acknowledging that such an analysis is only possible with support of national administrative law, constitutional law, and political science. It first examines the essential premises of the nature of a presidential regime. What is called by this name is essentially a modern construction, built on an essential separation of functions and a complex of relationships woven among them. Next, the chapter deals with the architecture of administration in presidential regimes. Various perspectives are possible. Here, three will be considered: generative, governmental, and organizational. Lastly, the chapter discusses administrative control in presidential regimes—a crucial issue for comparative administrative law.

Law Making

Abstract Friedrich Kratochwil engages critically with the emergence of a global administrative law and its consequences for the democratic legitimacy of global governance. While he makes important contributions to our understanding of global governance, he does not sufficiently discuss the differences in the institutional design of new forms of global law-making and their consequences for the effectiveness and legitimacy of global governance. I elaborate on these limitations and outline a comparative research agenda on the emergence, design, and effectiveness of the diverse arrangements that constitute the complex institutional architecture of contemporary global governance.
