Public Law – Insights into Danish Constitutional and Administrative Law is a textbook presenting a selection of insights into Danish public law solutions. The book will appeal to students who want to learn more about how legal frameworks, citizen-oriented rights and solutions, and judicial review measures are designed in Denmark, and how they function there against the backdrop of international law.The intention of the book is not to put forward a “master narrative” for readers to follow. Instead, it offers “shareable narratives” that the reader can relate to and that will help them develop their own ability to conduct a comparative analysis of the configuration of similar issues in other countries. Although the perspective is international, the book is relevant for both Danish students and international students with an interest in the subject.The textbook is edited by Peter Aagaard Nielsen and Jesper Olsen.

Human rights are increasingly debated in the public sphere, yet discussions of human rights law are traditionally all but invisible in the discussions on national administrative law. This is at least the case in Denmark. This book sets out to analyse if, and in what way, the application of human rights law is visible in the case-law of institutions performing reviews of Danish administrative decisions.The book consists of three parts. The first part contains the introduction, research question, methodological considerations and delimitations. The second part is an in-depth look at the theory of empowerment and legal capability, coupled with an analysis of how this theory is supported by international and national law. The third and final part contains an analysis of cases from both the Danish Parliamentary Ombudsman and the Danish Equality Board (Ligebehandlingsnævnet), applying a model of analysis developed using the theory of legal capability and communication theories.Discussing new ways of analysing the application of human rights, this book is relevant for scholars and professionals primarily working with human rights law, but also administrative law, both nationally and internationally.
