Paper long abstract:

In the recent decades traditional meaning of administrative procedure as a proceedings for the adoption of single-case individual decision are supplemented by rule-making procedures and procedures which lead to implementation of public policy. Application of advanced techniques of governance lead to the change of the classic central position of administrative authority and the view of procedure as a procedure "before" the body of public administration. The private actors of the administrative procedures are not only the parties, but also other persons and legal entities, social organisations, ombudsman or NGO's. The new forms of participation leave more space for them and share administrative process between public and private spheres, which concentrates forces for common benefits. It focuses on bringing together and engaging critical stakeholders and administrations at a national and transnational level therefore that kind of activities must be analized in comparative perspective targeted to show best practices for the promotion of public-private cooperation, participatory democracy and good governance. Collaboration between administrations, and between administrations and the private sector, is a core principle of the third generation procedures. Inter-agency and public-private collaboration should obtain more in-depth information from relevant actors, and to let them to participate in the regulatory cascade, thereby improving the efficacy and relevance of the regulations established. From that point of view creation of administrative links and networks with using the concept of global governance lead towards a modern dimension of responsibility, accountability, global administrative law and openess of administration, as well as gathering and managing of informations.
