Abstract
Administrative law plays a pivotal role in shaping the interactions between government agencies and
society, influencing policy implementation, governance structures, and individual rights. The United
States' administrative law framework, rooted in the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and shaped
by landmark judicial decisions, offers valuable insights for social scientists. Lessons include the
delicate balance between administrative discretion and judicial oversight, the importance of transparent
and participatory processes, and the continuous evaluation and adaptation of administrative law in
response to societal changes. The study also delves into the U.S. experience with regulatory capture,
emphasizing the need to address potential conflicts of interest to ensure fairness and equity.
Furthermore, the study highlights the role of specialized administrative tribunals and the ongoing
consideration of social justice in administrative decision-making. By analyzing the U.S. model, social
scientists gain valuable perspectives for understanding the intricate dynamics between administrative
law and societal interests, providing a foundation for comparative studies and informing discussions on
the evolution and enhancement of administrative law in diverse contexts.
