Public Finance Law and Public Administrations

The book examines how the growth of public finance law within the European Union has both influenced and continued to impact the structure of national-level public administration in EU Member States. It assesses whether this regulatory influence has improved public administration or, conversely, negatively impacted civil society.

Illustrating how global crises have shaped the formulation of financial regulations in the EU, the book discusses how enforcement of these regulations has influenced various aspects of public administration in EU Member States. The book evaluates not only the consequences stemming from the application of these rules, but also those arising from changes within the EU system that ripple down to the national level. Consequently, the book delves into the effects of public finance law on both "static elements" (such as public activities, organization, and civil service) and the relationships between public administrations, politics in a broad sense, and civil society.

The book will be of interest to students and scholars in the field of public administrative law, banking and finance law and public law more generally.
