The Latest Scholarship at Ius Publicum Network Review

—Gabriella M. Racca, University of Turin

As announced earlier this year, I-CONnect and IUS Publicum Network review have entered into a partnership to deepen the study of comparative public law and to enhance its online coverage. The IUS Publicum Network review is a network of the national leading public and administrative law journals in Europe, whose aim is to track and interpret the evolution of public law in each country involved, pointing out its influences on the construction of an administrative and public European law and its connections with other legal cultures.

Issue 1-2014 of the Ius Publicum Nework review is now online. The articles and the reports are available at the links below. We draw your attention in particular to the article on “Corruption as a Violation of Fundamental Rights: Reputation Risk as a Deterrent Against the Lack of Loyalty” (Gabriella M. Racca & Roberto Cavallo Perin), which also appears in Integrity and Efficiency in Sustainable Public Contracts: Balancing Corruption Concerns in Public Procurement Internationally (Bruylant 2014).

Issue 3/4-2013 of the Ius Publicum Nework review is also now complete. The articles and reports are linked below. The article on “Integrity Challenges in the EU and US Procurement Systems” (D. I Gordon & Gabriella M. Racca) will be of particular interest for American comparativists. This article clarifies the main differences between the US and the EU in tackling issue of the integrity. It focuses on the differences between the two systems’ contractor selection models and emphasizes the extent to which each system allows for subjective evaluation methods by linking the latter to accountability and transparency requirements. The published reports cover the following topics: Public Contracts, Public Law and Economics (Competition and Regulation) and Public Utilities, Judicial Review and Remedies and European Law, Comparative Law, Constitutional Law and International Law–Human Rights.
