Synopsis
Administrative law, one of the branches of public law in Turkey, briefly regulates the internal functioning of the administration and the relations between the administration and individuals. The concept of administration refers to institutions and organizations that perform a public service by using public power on behalf of the public. The public services provided by the administration are very diverse, particularly security, health and transportation. Although the public services provided by the administration were very limited in the past, today, a wide variety of services have started to be provided in different areas of life. Moreover, with increasing globalization, the factors to be taken into consideration in the provision of services have also diversified. Today, administrations have to take into account both national and international dynamics and developments while providing the public service they are assigned to provide. This is because the legislature or authorized bodies make legal arrangements for the needs of the society. While implementing the legal regulations, the needs of the society and the developments should be taken into consideration. While acting on behalf of the public and pursuing the public interest, the administration must take into account factors such as technology, international law, digitalization and adapt itself to developments according to the conditions of the day. This depends on the flexibility of the administration in adapting to the developments. This is because the failure of the administration to adapt to the developments causes the administration not only to fail to fulfill the duties it is obliged to fulfill in the globalizing world, but also to fall behind international developments and become unable to see the needs of individuals and society. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between administrative law and the global economy, tax regulations, the right to intervene for the public interest, international regulations, digitalization, environmental protection and competition law. Finally, we propose solutions as to what the attitude of the administration and administrative law should be in the face of these developments.
