The basis of legal relations in public procurement are private and public interests. The purpose of the study is a substantive assessment of the authors hypothesis that the purpose of legal regulation and financial support of public procurement is to satisfy the public interest expressed in the form of a public need for goods, works, and services. The methodological basis of the study rests on historical and systematic approach, analysis, synthesis and comparative-legal methods. The results of the analysis of normative legal acts regulating public procurement, doctrinal literature and practice showed that public interest denounced in the form of public need is realized through public procurement. Public and private interests can be realized exclusively jointly since these needs cannot objectively be met individually. In general, ensuring public as well as private interests boils down to defining and legally securing the rights and obligations of the customer and their officials, which safeguards them in the process of meeting public needs through public procurement. The study revealed the dependence of the essence of public interest on the political regime, which determines the ratio of public and private interests. Public interest in public procurement is suggested to understand as the value-significant selective position of an official or another person authorized by the government, which is expressed in the form of the public need for the necessary benefit; gaining such benefit involves both legal regulation and financial security. The purpose of legal regulation of public procurement is to satisfy public interest. These concepts should be legally enshrined in Law No. 44-FZ.

Las técnicas de intervención de las Administraciones Públicas se renuevan al ritmo que lo hacen los desafíos de la sociedad contemporánea, que reclaman un papel activo de los poderes públicos en defensa del interés general y de sus concretas manifestaciones. Un campo especialmente fértil para esta renovación funcional del Derecho administrativo ¿que tiene mucho de renovación dogmática¿ es el de la intervención pública frente a las nuevas formas de contaminación atmosférica. En concreto, este trabajo analiza la forma en que las Administraciones Públicas se sirven de técnicas conocidas, aunque también renovadas, para hacer frente a la contaminación lumínica y odorífera, en tanto que agresiones al interés público que conectan directamente con las preocupaciones de una sociedad expuesta a numerosos riesgos directamente asociados al progreso tecnológico. Así, el recurso a la división del territorio atendiendo a la vulnerabilidad frente a las nuevas formas de contaminación, o la técnica de las autorizaciones y licencias, por no hablar del ejercicio de la potestad sancionadora, no hacen sino actualizar los instrumentos clásicos de intervención administrativa al servicio de nuevas finalidades. Administrazio publikoen esku-hartzeko teknikak egungo gizartearen erronken erritmoan berritzen dira, izan ere, botere publikoen parte-hartze aktiboa eskatzen da, interes orokorraren eta interes horren adierazpen zehatzen defentsan. Kutsadura atmosferikoko agerpen berriei aurre egiteko arlo publikoaren esku-hartzeak esparru bereziki oparoa dakar Administrazio zuzenbidearen berritze funtzional honetarako ¿berritze dogmatikoa ere nabarmena da hemen¿. Hain zuzen ere, lan honetan, administrazio publikoek argi- eta usain-kutsadurari aurre egiteko teknika ezagunak (baina baita berrituak ere) nola erabiltzen dituzten aztertzen da, izan ere, kutsadura horiek interes publikoari egindako erasoak dira, eta zuzenean erlazionatuta daude gizarteak dauzkan kezkekin, aurrerapen teknologikoarekin lotutako hainbat arriskuren menpe baitago gizartea. Horrela, bada, kutsadura- agerpen berriekiko ahulezia aintzat hartuta lurraldea zatitzea, edo baimen eta lizentzien teknika, edo zehapen-ahalmena gauzatzea esku-hartze administratiboak izan dituen ohiko baliabideen eguneratzea baino ez dira, helburu berrien zerbitzura jarrita. The techniques for the intervention by the Public Administrations are updated at the pace with the challenges of the contemporaneous society, which demands an active role by public authorities in defense of the general interest and its concrete expressions. A specially fertile area for this functional updating in Administrative Law ¿which is very much a dogmatic updating- is public intervention against new forms of atmospheric pollution. Specifically, this work analyzes the form by which Public Administrations use already known techniques, albeit also updated, in order to face the lighting and odoriferous pollution, as attacks to public interest which directly connect to the worries by a society exposed to multiple perils directly related to the technologic process. Thus, the resort to the division of the territory taking into account the vulnerability against new forms of pollution, or the technique of authorization and licences, apart from not talking about the exercise of the punishing power, does not do but to bring up to date the classic instruments of administrative intervention for the new purposes¿ sake.

This chapter underlines how administrative law has taken a much greater significance in France since the period 1890–1910. This period is not only symbolic of a full development of administrative law around the notion of public power (puissance publique) or public service (service public) but also of the ramifications given to the very notion of State and public administration. The chapter deals with different theories (Hauriou, Duguit, etc.) related to a redefinition of the State and public services. It discusses four specific aspects: the institutional context, the case law of the Conseil d’État, the innovative orientations concerning the action of the public authorities, and the creative role of this case law.

ABSTRACT This paper puts forward a vision that integrates liberal and accounting education to engage students with the idea of vocation and pursuit of the common good through their chosen field of accounting. We adopt a common good definition of the public interest that seeks to advance not only the good of institutions and communities (mutual interests) but also the good of individuals (private interests). This approach engages students to critically reflect on how their life experiences, personal commitments, and future professional work can relate to one another. We first discuss disciplinary fragmentation in higher education and its implications for integrating liberal and accounting education. Next, we describe general learning objectives and concepts that support the integration of liberal learning and accounting education with a public interest orientation. We then apply the approach to critique accounting practices that arguably harm the public interest. The concluding section provides a summary and describes how accounting educators may adapt and scale an approach that fits their institutional setting.

Rapid expansion of ancient Roman territory was apparently not followed by a sufficiently quick growth of public administration. Consequently, a part of public authorities was entrusted to private individuals. This process appeared to be mutually beneficial. Public authority achieved the implementation of its jurisdiction, tax collection being of particular importance, while publicans, private individuals, acquired vast profits. Their profits were often a consequence of their abuse of the public authorities entrusted to them. The profit growth was followed by a growth of publicans' power and influence within the society, and consequently, the possibility of holders of public authorities to bring them to justice by exercising their powers was limited. Nevertheless, the aspect of legal limitations of publicans in which the authorities were partially successful, refers to the circumstances in which the public interest was harmed. Private individuals, however, were largely left at the mercy of the illegal actions of the publicans. The texts of Justinian's Digest, thus originating form the classical period, in which these matters are considered, were analysed in this paper.

The EU has taken influence on the administrative laws of the Member States by introducing elements of public information, participation of stakeholders and private enforcement, and environmental law was the frontrunner of this development. The same tendency can be observed at the international level, culminating in the adoption of the Århus Convention in 1998. This has created tensions with traditional administrative law systems that have strongly relied on public authorities to produce the correct outcome whilst severely restricting private participation and private access to justice. The Trianel case, dealing with the protection of habitats against a coal power plant, demonstrates the need for fundamental adjustment of German administrative law, and it may lead to subsequent changes of the modalities of administrative procedural law in order to really allow the private enforcement of the public interest (authors’ headnote).
