Administrative Regulation Beyond the Non-Delegation Doctrine

Marta Simoncini is Teaching Fellow at UCL. When drafting this volume, she was FWO post-doctoral Fellow at the University of Antwerp and King’s College London.

Simoncini’s book represents a fundamental landmark in the study of administrative power at European level. Through analysis of the evolutionary agencies’ powers this text marks a decisive step in the study and deepening of the constitutional balance of European powers by finally giving a role and an autonomous place of prominence (autonomous dignity) to administrative power in this delicate balance.
