General information about the project:
The international research project ‘Polish-Hungarian Research Platform 2021’ served to conduct in-depth analyses on constitutional change, the rule of law, administrative justice reform and judicial efficiency. The project partner was the Ferenc Mádel Institute of Comparative Law (Hungary).
The research project included the publication of at least 4 peer-reviewed scientific monographs, the organization of at least 7 monthly international scientific conferences and the organization of one international scientific conference to summarize the project.
The research carried out as part of the project was intended to stimulate an in-depth, yet wide-ranging discussion correlating with the title issues. For this reason, it was important to adequately promote the final products of the project.
Furthermore, the analysis of the above-mentioned issues should have led to the development of a number of de lege ferenda postulates for the Polish, Hungarian and also European legislator. The results obtained should have been applicable both in theory and practice
Project objectives:
- The nature of the legislative process adopted to amend the Constitution (in the light of European intergration and constitutional identity): The aim was to understand the mechanisms and factors influencing the constitutional amendment process in a democratic state under the rule of law;
- Rule of law: The aim was to define the proper understanding of the concept of the rule of law (rationale, evaluation, implementation, correlation of the rule of law with the EU rule of law, etc;);
- Administrative justice reform: The aim was to learn about the new mechanisms, structure and organisation, as well as the functioning of the administrative judiciary in order to conduct administrative proceedings in a reliable manner;
- Efficiency of the justice system: The aim was to examine efficiency, i.e. the efficiency, duration and complexity of cases handled in the courts.
The above objectives were only an inspiration, their detailing depended on the Research Team Leaders.
