PERLINGEIRO, Ricardo. Comparative Analysis of Administrative Justice Systems in Latin America. Estud. Socio-Juríd [online]. 2022, vol.24, n.1, pp.233-265.  Epub Aug 03, 2022. ISSN 0124-0579.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/sociojuridicos/a.10825.

This article presents a comparative analysis regarding the traditions of administrative law in Latin America and their impact on the contemporary scene, as well as on the trends in the general orientations of their administrative justice systems. The method followed consists of pointing out the attributions of the administrative authorities and trying to identify the distinction, in Latin America, between the 'administrative function of implementation', the 'control of the legality of administrative decisions' (not related to any adjudication function), and the 'protection of rights' (by means of an adjudication function) while examining their historical genesis and future trends. In this perspective, the text addresses administrative powers and their limits: the prerogatives and instruments of the authorities in the exercise of their enforcement functions, the control of administrative decisions by the administrative authorities themselves and by external bodies, and the judicial and extrajudicial protection of rights against administrative decisions.

Keywords : Latin America; comparative law; administrative justice; courts.
