This book offers a critical perspective on administrative law, compiling research conducted by various authors. It highlights the role of this discipline in transforming States towards models of co-responsible governance and describes different reflections on the evolution of public administration, revealing tensions between figures, acts, or procedures viewed from the standpoints of legality and efficacy. In this context, it addresses the need to adapt the discipline to new realities, such as alternative justice and the recognition of emerging rights, including touristic rights. Through case studies in Colombia and Mexico, the book deliberates on the labor protection of public officials and environmental justice, respectively. Furthermore, it includes analyses of tax enforcement acts, as well as studies related to the protection of environmental defenders and education in public institutions. In summary, this work underscores the constant transformation of administrative law and its relevance in addressing contemporary legal challenges.
