“…Although qualitative evidence exists of transnational influence, such as in the cases of Greece (e.g., Danopoulos, 2015; Hatzis & Nalpantidou, 2007) and Croatia (e.g., Barić & Miloš, 2016), the statistical findings confirm on average that judicial independence is generally the main and only constraint for lawmakers to pass legislation that permits public participation in rulemaking. Further, seven out of the twelve countries that adopted such rules are CEECs.…”

This study analyzes the enactment of public participation in rulemaking within the European Union and the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development countries. It relies on an original dataset of administrative procedural acts and administrative laws concerning the making of delegated legislation. As 12 out of 39 countries enacted a procedure of notification, publication, and consultation between 1995 and 2015, the study focuses on courts while controlling for other domestic institutional determinants of legislative adoption and countries' interdependence. The empirical findings show that countries with a highly independent judiciary system are less likely to enact a comprehensive provision for public participation in rulemaking. This finding highlights a paradox, namely that political systems are more likely to adopt rulemaking to enhance democratic legitimacy if they are characterized by a judicial system that does not actively pursue the legality of rulemaking. ZusammenfassungDiese Studie untersucht, wie die Öffentlichkeit an Rechtsetzungsverfahren in den Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union und der OECD mitwirken kann. Hierzu verwendet sie einen neuartigen Datensatz, der Informationen zu den entsprechenden Verwaltungsverfahrensakten und Verwaltungsgesetzen enthält, die die rechtliche Grundlage hierfür schaffen. Zwischen 1995 und 2015 haben 12 der 39 untersuchten Staaten ein entsprechendes Notifizierungs-, Veröffentlichungs-und/ oder Konsultationsverfahren eingeführt, was uns dazu bewogen hat, den Untersuchungsfokus dieser Studie auf die Rolle von Gerichten zu legen. Gleichzeitig kontrollieren wir für den Einfluss von alternativen institutionellen Erklärungsfaktoren. Die empirischen Befunde zeigen, dass Länder mit unabhängigen Justizsystemen seltener der Öffentlichkeit die Möglichkeit einräumen, sich an Rechtsetzungsverfahren zu beteiligen.

By deliberate choice of the Croatian constitution-makers, the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia protects all economic, social and cultural rights guaranteed by constitutions of developed European democracies and by the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights to which Croatia is a party. This creates a dual (constitutional and international) obligation for the Croatian legislature to establish a socially just order. Although the constitutional text places both of the human rights generations within the same title, the constitutional jurisprudence adopted a position, whereby socioeconomic rights are excluded from the sphere of organic laws used to elaborate the constitutionally guaranteed fundamental rights and freedoms. This development notwithstanding, the potential of their protection before the Constitutional Court has not been reduced, as the Court has developed an impressive list of doctrinal positions on the nature of social rights, committing to the concept of social state as a foundational element of European constitutionalism. Still, we would be remiss if we did not emphasize the Constitutional Court's passive stance towards the political branches of the government regarding the social rights and must therefore plead for a more active approach in that regard.
