Sažetak
The paper analyses the concepts of good administration and good governance on the example of the functioning of the European Ombudsman. The main achievements of the Ombudsman are concentrated around the preparation and application of the Code of Good Administrative Behaviour and stipulation of the right to good administration and several additional rights of citizens within the European Charter of Fundamental Rights. Good administration and good governance are the key elements of the European Administrative Space. All three concepts have their normative and empirical sides and are used in literature interchangeably. However, European Administrative Space has recently become the dominant concept in administrative theory and doctrine, for analysis of the phenomenon of administrative convergence in Europe, thus subsuming both good administration and good governance as narrower concepts with somewhat different focus. Thus, good administration has predominantly normative connotations, referring mostly to the respective rights, their elements and way of further normative development. Good governance has got an increasingly pivotal role in doctrinal discussions about the new type of relationships between government, citizens and society as a whole, and is more oriented to policy making than to policy implementation. In such a vein, good administration has been attracting legal meanings, good governance has had doctrinal connotations, and the European Administrative Space has got theoretical significance. However, dissection of these notions is still a rather complex and sensitive task which this paper can only initiate.
