Principles of Administrative Acts
Tags
Summary
This book applies the inductive method in combination with the case method, describing "what has in fact been practiced judicially" to induce and summarize the current de facto state of administrative acts. Overall, the book is written not from a legislative standpoint but from an interpretive one.
In terms of structure, the book does not adopt the format of a textbook; instead, it divides administrative acts into different categories—such as concrete administrative acts, abstract administrative acts, and administrative acts upon application—and treats each in a separate chapter. Such an arrangement helps readers understand the book's problem awareness, research methods, analytical framework, and conclusions. To this end, the author briefly introduces the line of inquiry at the beginning of each chapter and provides a short concluding remark after each section.
Editor's review
The greatest value of this book lies in its theoretical depth and systematic coherence. Professor Ye Bifeng is not only well versed in the administrative law traditions of Germany and other civil law jurisdictions but also able to creatively transform them in light of China's practice of administrative rule of law. The book's discussion of the distinction between "concrete and abstract administrative acts," the multidimensional analysis of the validity of administrative acts (presumptive validity, determinative effect, binding effect, and enforceability), and the principles of administrative procedure all reflect the author's deep scholarship and original thinking. For readers who wish to go beyond the surface of statutory provisions and understand the legal logic underlying the exercise of administrative power, this is an excellent advanced reader.
Reading this book requires some basic grounding in administrative law, but its exposition is clear and its logic rigorous; even if certain theoretical details prove demanding, following the author's line of argument will yield a macro-level grasp of the core propositions of administrative law. The fine publishing quality of The Commercial Press also ensures a good reading experience. Overall, this is a classic theoretical work that can significantly deepen one's legal thinking and deserves repeated study.
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Upper-level undergraduates or graduate students in law who wish to deepen their understanding of core theories of administrative law
- Scholars and teachers engaged in research or teaching of administrative law, for whom it can serve as an important theoretical reference
- Legal practitioners (such as judges, lawyers, and government legal counsel) who need to grasp issues of the validity and procedure of administrative acts at the level of principle
- Interdisciplinary scholars or serious general readers with a strong interest in public law theory
Not a good fit for
- Readers seeking an introductory popular work on administrative law or quick exam-preparation materials
- Readers interested only in specific administrative law institutions or case practice and lacking the patience for theoretical inquiry
Reading tips
- It is advisable first to read through the table of contents to grasp the book's overall structure centered on "principles," then to study it chapter by chapter in depth
- While reading, consult and compare relevant statutory provisions such as China's Administrative Litigation Law and Administrative Penalty Law to appreciate the interaction between theory and positive law
- For sections involving comparative law such as German law, if they feel unfamiliar, readers may first grasp the core arguments without over-focusing on details, concentrating on their significance for Chinese theory

About the author
Ye Bifeng appears in the library with a single work, Principles of Administrative Acts, commonly classified under law. Publicly available information is limited: his nationality, dates of birth and death, and educational background are not clearly recorded, so this introduction makes no biographical conjectures and focuses instead on the known work. Judging from the title and classification, the book is a monograph in administrative law, discussing the composition, validity, and operation of administrative acts, and addressing the legal boundaries and procedural requirements that apply when administrative bodies make decisions and exercise management. Writing of this kind typically demands clear concepts and rigorous logic, with attention to both legal doctrine and practice, and is suited to legal researchers, practitioners, and students of administrative law. Classified under law in the library, the work is the main basis for understanding Ye Bifeng's writing orientation.
