THE IMPACT OF THE PRINCIPLE OF GOOD FAITH ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ADMINISTRATIVE GOVERNANCE
Abstract
In public administration, few principles are as foundational yet under-discussed as the principle of good faith. Commonly associated with private law (contracts and civil dealings), the idea of good faith has increasingly permeated administrative law as a guiding norm for both government authorities and citizens. Good faith in the administrative context broadly means that public officials and institutions must act honestly, fairly, and consistently, without abusing their power or misleading the public.
