Abstract

The text analyzes the evolution of administrative law in the period between the two World Wars, highlighting the transition from a liberal to an interventionist state, with a focus on administrative reforms and legal thinking. This change is marked by the blurring of the boundaries between public and private, where the state not only exercises command, but also adopts elastic forms of private law for the management of public administration. There has been an expansion in the activities of public entities which, despite increasing their powers, often do so using the organizational forms and legal regimes of private law. The text discusses how this hybridization between public and private reflects the complexity and challenges faced by administrative law in the context of modernization and authoritarianism in the inter-war period, leading to a redefinition of the functions and structure of public administration.
